Making our way home after a wonderful 3 weeks on the Isle of Wight and the south east and west coasts.Nearer home we stayed at Conkers C&CC Site.On day 2 we had 15 minutes of torrential rain and very strong winds side on to the MoHo.
Went for a pee and saw water running down wall from under the window seal.
My MoHo is a 16 year old swift Sundance.
Should I put in a new window and sealšŸ¤”.

Trying cleaning the window, the rubber seal and the drain channel first.
Then put a hose on the window and check if it still leaks.
May save you a lot of time and money.

Take a pic of your window and show where the water was coming from. If itā€™s coming from the edge trim you may have to remove the entire assembly and reseal it.

Almost a Newbie but not quite now.
I had this and just removed the window, scraped all the old sealant off and resealed, replaced, tidied up. Now dry again. Ours seemed to be coming from above but on removal it was coming by the seal.

It's not a big job to re seal.but needs doing before the winter as it could lead to rot.
Tube or sikaflex or puraflex 40 from Toolstation.
Clean off old sealant then wipe with white spirit ..
Got to be a nice dry day though

Might just be worth trying a little thing I tried. Remove the screw covers and you will probably get around half a turn or so on each securing screw. Just enough to stop the leak. This might keep it water tight until next spring, summer when it can be removed and resealed in hopefully dry weather. I have just done this with one of my windows.
The removing cleaning and resealing is not difficult at all but is time consuming.
