I found a leak in our Heritage Nomad by pressurizing it with a shop vac then using soapy water. I duct taped some cardboard in place of a hatch and punched a hole for the shop vac tube. With the tube on the blower side I turned on the vac and quickly found that I needed to enlarge the hole to vent some of the excess pressure. After trying again, I soaped every suspicious spot and immediately found the problem. I found some other smaller leaks in the rear bulkhead as well.
