Any suggestions on how to find where water is coming in on an enclosed trailer? I've looked over the roof and can't see any issues.

A good flashlight and a water hose sprinkling on the roof will usually show the leaks. Just don't blast the water but try to mimick rain on it.

Water can get in to unobvious places. Is this a problem after pulling through rain or after it has been sitting? Knowing more of when the problem arises could help determine where the leak is.

The suggestion from Adrian above is a good way to go and easier with a helper on the inside while you are sprinkling with the hose on the outside.

I agree with Adrian, Use a hose and sprinkle water on the roof to help find the leaks.

Another idea but requires a hole to be drilled and that is to use a Shop Vac with the exhaust connector drill a hole to stick the hose into. close it up and fill with air pressure..This will in turn Pressurize the trailer then spray water all over it. Leaks found everyone happy. Of course the first idea is easier no drilling required but if your alone this might be a better way.
