We haven’t investigated yet but would be helpful to have some idea of where it might be getting in. 
Also, any tips on taking down the headlining.

An introduction in the welcome section above would be courteous.  You will find the search facility a good place to start, can I also mention that due to the way the forum software works any text you put in the description field is not shown when your message is opened so any info you have there will hot be seen.

Can't help directly with your query but any leak around ariel should be visible as  loose fitt8ng on outside. Water can track from anywhere so could be door seal or even skylights

I had a similar issue in my Stanway I initially thought it was the ariel too but when I took the headliner out realised the water was coming from somewhere further back in the van.

After much searching I found the guilty part was the mushroom vent cover in the washroom which wasn't properly sealing to the housing - I replaced and the issue was resolved.

Hello, Ourbus, I don't have that problem but I have had a leaking aerial. Fortunately I was able to seal it from the outside with Tolly's Creeping Crack cure. I know that wont last forever so I was wondering how you went about taking the cab headlining out since I will eventually have to tackle the aerial from the inside.
