Water coming in under slide when travelling in rain

Hello,
I have a 2017 High Country 344RL. I noticed this year after I tow in the rain the carpet on the main floor is when after I extend the main slide out, this is only on this slide. Is there a seal down there that I am not seeing? This has happened twice this year and heading out for another 2 week trip. Any other suggestions where to look?

On our 2010 I had to re-glue a seal under one of our slides that was screwed to the rig on each end and stuck the whole way with a peal and stick surface. It was just hanging from the screws. If the screws weren't there it just would have fallen off and I wouldn't have know it was ever there.

Just trying to get a better feel for where you are seeing water...
A. vinyl floor area ?
B. Carpet in the slide?

on the main slide passenger side of trailer. After extending slide all the way out and it drops even with the other floor i have a small section of carpet (that goes to the vinyl)where the slide now becomes even with. This is where the wetness is right in the general area of the tires. But in heavy rain (last trip 6 hours in a downpour)

I just went out and pulled the slide out. I don't see a seal there. Wondering if the slide has to be removed???
Thanks for your input.

In the wheel wells front and back you need to seal up the gaps. I used gorilla tape. Clean the surface really good first.
You should have a rubber wiper seal in both wheel wells.
I would like to find something to put above the wheels to protect the darco from road debris, rocks etc.

Thanks, I will seal the front and rear of the wheel well, and will have to find some sort of wiper for the remaining part of the slide.
