slide out plywood is rotten

I have a 2005 big sky 3670RL and under the couch where the carpet is the wood is black and rotten. I cannot find out where the water came from. All the seams are caulked. I tried using the hose and did not see any water leaks. The walls are ok only the floor. This is 12/24 inch area of the floor in the corner. Has anybody had a problem like this?

Check the weather seal around your windows in that area. This can cause a leak if it is worn-out or has broke down. It could also be that your drain holes on the windows are plugged and it is backing up that way also. Check this out and see what you come up with and let us know the results!

Another potential cause could be in the trim strips that run top to bottom both sides at the outer edge of the slide. I would also take a careful look at the slide seals because of the year of your fiver.

Hi

Like everyone else says it is a water leak. The water is most probably running down between the inner and outer wall where you can’t see it.
