I dont remember the name, but there is a post here from BIGSAMMY about rebuilding his WW after a collision. The guy he went to in Riverside (? I think) looks like he does a great job!
By the way, where is the leak? Many of us have LEs= post up repair pics too...

the place that BIGSAMMY had repair his trailer is K and N Customs, they are located in Romoland
me thinks that if they are willing to take on such a big project like his, they must know what they are doing. their customer service seems top notch as well.
see his WW rebuild thread here:

I have a 2004, 3505 LE. I found a leak in mine about 2 years ago in the front right cabinet. Turns out it was the trim that runs up the front corner over the aluminum panels and meets the roof. The caulking had cracked and pulled away where the trim meets the roof. So I cleaned the joint, pulled the old caulking out and resealed it. No more leak after that. I actually had mold in the front cabinet that ruined a few items of clothing folded up on the cabinet floor, that's how bad the leak was. I let the cabinet air out, pulled the carpet out of the bottom of the cabinet and cleaned the entire inside of the cabinet with bleach. Floor inside the cabinet is still structurally sound, so I left it alone.
I check the trim intersection on a regular basis now to make sure it hasn't opened up again. With all of the twisting and racking these trailers go through, it does not surprise me that this kind of problem would occur.
If you need an RV repair shop I would recommend San Diego RV in El Cajon on Bond Avenue, right along the 8, past Lake Jennings Road or County RV in Santee on Prospect.
K & N Customs is definitely the place to go, if you dont mind driving up there. There service is top notch and they definitely go the extra mile to make it right. They are located on Antelope Rd. north of SR-74 east. in Romoland. I've had mine there for minor maintenance and my buddy had some more extensive frame work that the dealer couldn't figure out. Both times great srevice.
I think they have a different approach to customer service, they fix it right and treat you right, what a novel idea.

We ended up having ricks RV in El Cajon do the work....we have used them for other stuff and felt good having them do the repair. Simple fix because we found it before it became a huge deal. Should be done by Tuesday and i'll post some pics

The insurance company recommended them so we decided to use them. I haven't heard anything bad about them until you said something...oh well as long as it has the warranty i'm cool with that.

you know my LE leaks at the water purifier thingy underneath the sink... I literally had to put a trashcan there to catch any water... because we never have time to deal with it... never stored at home, we just don't use that water purifier dispenser... and it doesn't leak, so long as no one uses that...
anyone ever have this happen? The leak was caught when it first started, so never got to any wood or anything, just catches in the trashcan... but like I said, only leaks if you use that filter water thingy...

Never had that problem MBD, but a buddies trailer was having water issues. The pump would run and shut off but he didn't have any water at the faucets. The filter inside the canister had never been replaced so it could not get water through it. Took us 2 hours to figure out what was wrong. I went home and took the filter out of mine. Never used it anyway!

hmmm.. so just take off the filter? Sounds easy enough...

Yep, just unscrew it and pull the filter out and put the canister back on. Or you can replace the filter if you use it. I know that doesn't fix your leak.

Yeah my buddies 07 le3905 is named the ss minnow. He has the poly pipe clamps that don't hold for chit. we have replaced all but a couple in the rig, even had to pull the shower out and replace the calmps behind the enclosure.
My 08 has different style of clamps and I've never had a problem yet...... knock on wood.
Not sure if his rig was the only full custom warrior ss minnow out there, I hope others are not having his problems.
