Leaking water near dinette

Every time it rains we get water along the side of the dining room slide out by the door. Looked on top of the slide out and all the caulking looks tight. The small window in the slide looks dry also.
The water just starts soaking the carpeting along the left side of the slide out as you face the table, Cannot see any dripping.
Anyone have any ideas as to how to solve this probem?
Thanks, Montyman

My first thought would be to check the seal on the side of the slide to make sure it is out (pointing toward the outer edge of the slide). If it is part way it will trap water and let it come in. You did not state if you had slide toppers. Same with the top seal.
Hope this helps and I am sure others will be along with better suggestions.

Happy New Year.

Forgot to mention this:ALL seals are pointed OUTWARD.
Got up on the roof also, nothing looks wrong there.

Is that the same slide with the refrigerator? There have been some posts about leaks from around the fridge vents. One way to look for leaks is to use a hose and start low and work your way up to the top, but someone posted a better way of using positive pressure inside the trailer and soap bubble spray on the outside. You might want to give that a try.

you might check under the tape on the roof, fill along the tape untill you fill the screw heads on mine they broke of the head and water got under the tape and ran down the screw. I felt the screw head not attached to the screw. I lifted the tape siliconed the top of screw replaced the tape. It is still sealed after 3 summers.
