Darren,
We had an Open Range 5th wheel that had pitiful factory assembly practices. It had a two year warranty but the rear cap and the bedroom wardrobe slide developed leaks that didn't become noticeable until a few months after the warranty ran out. By then Jayco had acquired Open Range and good will became non-existent. We are trying to be smarter about our new motorhome so perhaps we can at least find leaks before the become major problems. I had recaulked numerous seams and joints on the 5th wheel but the slide leaks evidently originated where the slide cable attached to the slide body and there was no gasketing or sealant around any of the fasteners. The rear cap leak either came from a failed rear window seal or from a roof marker light.
Keep a close eye on the mold problem as it may be more involved than what you can actually see.
