Hi all

New to statics but did have a classic (90's) Bessacarr tourer for several years.

So my first winter in my static and we've sprung a 'leak', drip, drip, drip on my head from the lounge air vent. Disassembled to see what's occurring and I just can't work out if it's a build up of condensation or the roof somewhere. My neighbour kindly resealed the roof air vent (I grabbed some Sikaflex EBT+) and used sealing tape, but the drips still persist.

It does appear to be associated with rain rather than solely heating (causing condensation) and water appears to condensation on the white tube AND I can see it running down the inner tin roof. See photos.

I suspect the only way s to get on the roof again and get a hose pipe out but hights and roofs are NOT my thing.

Any suggestions really welcomed as it's a little baffling.

Roof vent looks like this: https://www.thecaravanwarehouse.co.uk/Products/ventilation-equipment/VEN050

Getting the hose pipe out soon, it's the only way to identify where this is coming from. Will keep you 'all' updated
