Water on floor in front of bedroom slide

Our model is a 2013 3100 RL. Last night we had a hard driving rain (wind was 30 mpg + and gust over 40 mph) and we discovered the carpet being wet just in front of the bedroom slide on the front side of the bed. Have checked the seals and all look good. Any ideas? Thanks

The same happened to me at the place you describe, but only once. We had severe weather, 35 - 40 mph winds and torential rain blowing sideways directly at the bedroom slide. It was only enough to wet the carpet. After the weather passed a mop up with a towel and finish off with a blow dryer took care of it. In my case I think it was just the direction we were facing and the open beach exposure that caused the problem.

Had the same problem several times.
Discussed with plant tech at the Fall Rally this year.
He look and found the screws loose along the base frame outside under the bed slide and also recommend resealing along there.

Likely the seal along the wide trim piece at the bottom of the slide. Along the top edge of the trim piece you will find the silicone separated. Many here have found this to be the problem. "Sheepdog" told me. I have seen it on many.

When mine was wet like this I found the trim pieces needed silicone as said above plus while I was looking I found the antenna wire boot needed to be done also. No more wet carpet.
