Water Leak
I have a 2007 Big Sky 340RLQ. Pulling it Two weeks age in the rain and when we arrived and set up I noticed the carpet was wet after putting the slides out. The large slide on the door side seemed to have leaked from under the camper. Maybe the tires slinging water on the bottom of the camper while moving. Carpet was wet where the carpets lap over each other when the slide is out just above the tires. Has this happen to anyone else.
Thanks Richard

Could it have come from the roof of the slide?

Or maybe even from the roof AC. Each side of our roof AC hits about where the carpet comes in to.

No, I am sure it came up from under the wheel well. The only place there was water was where the carpet ends. At first I thought It may have come in at the front of the slide where it meets the side of the camper but it wasn't wet at the front only directly above the tires which would be in the middle of the slide area.A section about two feet long 6 to 8 inches wide the carpet was very wet. This was the first time I have pulled in the rain in a long time I try to keep from doing that. I have looked under the camper trying to see how it could have got in but really cant tell

Do your seals from the super-slide contact the main body of the unit securely? Is there a gap under the slide with it in?

Yea, the slide closes all the way and seals are in perfect shape.NO water or nothing wet except the carpet on the floor at the edge where the plastic strip holds the carpet down. I noticed it after I put the slides out and walked over by the couch and steped on the carpet in front of the couch where slide carpet overlaps the carpet on the floor and felt the water thru my sock

Just throwing this in, was it raining when you had the slide out? If so, could you have missed it?
It is really unusual for that to happen while traveling, I don't recall ever seeing it (reading about it)

Nope, Wasn't raining when we left. Hit the rain about 2 hours into a 4 hour trip. I have never heard of this either.
