    That's the seam where the cab and sleeper come together. The seam extends all the way up the walls to the roof cap/rain gutter. Get a ladder and ensure there are no holes in the gutter. Have you been running your fridge? Is your fridge leaking condensate? Pull your drawers out completely(manipulate the little plastic piece on the slides but you should know this if you checked the sleeper HVAC filters and drain already. Look for water.

    thank you I am also suspecting it could be my fridge because it smells really bad and also my freezer up top freezes up real quick. I am going to turn off my fridge for two days to see The results I will keep you posted. Thank you so much again.

    I have some of these same issues on my 2006 4900ex. What symptoms caused you to replace the turn signal module. My truck will only push about 5 volts to the right turn on the trailer. Having an ac problem with the compressor staying on. The blue light on my ac switch doesn't come on. Switch feels good, but might be bad internally. Thanks

    I had the ad9 dryer go out in my international. I didn't have the right fitting to bypass it. I happened to notice the thread were the same as my spare gladhands. Put 2 gladhands together and zip tied them up. I Lso had to regulate my air. It was building to much pressure. I cut the airline going to the passenger seat put vice grips loosely on the line to regulate the flow. I stopped later a got a valve and more air line. I could adjust the flow better with the valve and ran the extra hose through the shifter boot to exhaust the excess pressure.

    You hav a bad ground at your tail lights. Just drill a new one. The blue lights are burnt out more than they are lit. I never knew it lit up on my first Star.

    I have a strong tail light. But the turn signal is weak. For testing purposes I reverse the left and right in the trailer plug and the problem reversed to the other signal
