Hi all i have had my Bailey Pageant series 6 Provence for just over two years its a 2007 model so 15 years old but its in good condition however i have an issue with the front windows letting in rain water but only when i have towing. When its pitched or in storage I don’t have any leaks but when i am towing and it rains i get water along the bottom of each from window and on the window cill which i guess will be running down from the windows.

obviously all the windows are properly closed and I don’t see any gaps and the seals look ok too so i am lost as to what the problem is ????

    We had the same type of problem with our c/van when towing only ,

    We round it was coming in under the window as the rubber seal had a small "gap" where there was a joint at the bottom of seal

    I used to have exactly the same problem with my 2009 Ranger Series 6.  The seals on all the front windows had their join in in the bottom centre and this allowed a minute bit of rain to be forced through when driving.  Cured by getting a small rubber insert that fitted inside the seal and some black sealant.  My local caravan repair man did this for very little. You need to get this sorted soonest.
