2021 MHC 281CK - leak at Center kitchen

Need some help with schematics and leak. Trying to diagnose a leak we found located at the bottom of our center kitchen extension. Does anyone know what be located in the cabinet below the kitchen counter on the floor if there’s a water line running through the base of the cabinet ? We see no leaks from ceiling, no leaks from outside or floor, under camper- emptied all tanks and water heater- stumped!!

Do you have a residential refer?

Yes- it’s the residential refer- not the propane/electric.

I don't have your model or even a residential refer, but from what I read here, you have a plastic water line, with a shutoff valve, under the sink that feeds the ice maker in the refer. I would start there. Find it and see if that is the source of the leak. Perhaps a misplaced staple in the cabinet hit the line?

Your floor plan is shown below. Which location are you finding the water?

Location A ? likely a leak from the fridge - maybe someone else can advise where to find water connections to check.
Also - is your fridge a Samsung or GE ?
Location B ? could be a leaking window frame
Location C ? could be a leaking window frame

Location A and C - also check the outside bottom corner angle to make sure the caulking is intact. A leak at these locations can damage the plywood floor of the slide box. In the second photo I drew a red line where you need to look at the caulking on both sides of the slide. Your unit has a residential refer so I marked out the two fridge vents as you should not have those.

I had a leak in a cabinet (on outer wall) under my L-shaped kitchen island. Finally found the vent on the roof had a whole on the side of it that had loose caulk in it. Dab of caulk and it stopped

We have a 280CK and found water also by the island area and tracked it back to a loose water line fitting under the sink. The water will travel so hard to find
