Could it be leaking around the boiler flue if it goes vertically through the ceiling. If so taping the area with Sylglas will help prevent more coming in. But as it’s a static I’m not really able to offer more advice as they differ from touring vans. Your best bet would be to contact a mobile engineer familiar with statics. If your on a static park there must be someone who comes in for servicing and repairs. Good luck damps not a nice thing. But you will need to address it as it will do permanent damage to the roof structure.

Hi Crane. Welcome to the forum. We are mostly tourers on here, so you may get more information from a static owners forum. However, I would concur with OC, get someone who knows about static caravan roofs to have a look and get it sealed up properly. Water ingress is not the thing to do a bodge job on. Good luck.

It sounds like the flue to roof seal has failed or been damaged.
