Water Leak

I have a 2007 Montana 3000RK and we were camping this weekend. It was raining lightly and I woke up Saturday morning to a wet floor next to my couch and fireplace. the wetness had about a 1-1/2 foot circumference from the wall. Like I said it was raining but it wasn’t a driving rain mostly pretty light and coming straight down, there wasn’t any water on the wall, only the carpet was soaked. I don’t know if this is coincidence or if it had something contributing to the water leak. Friday night into Saturday morning. I woke up to my water pump running periodically but it would only run for a second and then shut off for about 10 to 20 minutes and then do it again periodically through the night. I pulled the fireplace out to look to see if there was any leaking water lines or the toilet was leaking. I didn’t find any wetness anywhere behind the fireplace or underneath the stairs. My seals around the slide are in good shape and are very flexible. I shut the water pump off when we didn’t need it. Saturday evening I turned it on to see if I could get the water pump to do the same thing and it wouldn’t. It acted like a normal water pump only coming on when a faucet was turned on or the toilet was in use. I hope I’ve described this pretty well to give a good picture of what was going on, Has anybody had this happen to them or similar circumstances? If you have any suggestions, I would like to hear them. Thanks in advance.

I would bet the leak is from around the exterior of the window frame. We had three different windows on the ends of slides that leaked over time and after the last one, I used black silicone caulking around all the windows at the edge of the frames and haven't had a leak since. The water would seep in between the frame and the wall, migrate down in the wall and come out into the carpet.

Water Leak

I wanted to let everyone know for future reference that the water was coming from my water heater, it finally rusted out. Now the fun of changing it out.
