Where does a jet gasket leak come from?
A leak may come from a crack in the jet housing. If this is the case, you can add silicone to the outer edge of the housing to fix the leak. The leak may stem from the jet gasket or glue joint, which is located behind the jet, if there isn’t a crack in the jet housing.
Can a seal be removed from a camper?
Good sealant will be tight to the camper with no air pockets and will not move. TIP: Bill’s advice bears repeating; not that he’s a bear. Do not remove good seals just to put new seals down. Only caulk where the sealant is dry, cracked, or shows signs of wear and tear or deterioration.
