Water in bottom of window

Raining here for the last week and when I check on new 3150RL Montana there is water in the large back window where the window slides to open.. I have wiped it out several times and it just comes back.. Not a large amount but was wondering where it could be coming from. No water coming down window just sitting in the bottom..

Could it be condesation? There are weep holes in the bottom of the window to let it out if that is what it is.

If it's raining a pretty good clip and the wind is really blowing, mine have water in them also. The wind actually blows the rain up the window frame drain slots and into the area where the vent windows slide. Mine usually drains back out in a short while.

I've had the same thing happen after a blowing rain. The water was only in the track. No leaks inside at all. The track is constructed with weep holes and they allow the water to flow out. The frame has no holes in the bottom so the water has nowhere to go but out the weep holes or evaporate. It spooked me too when this 1st happened to us. Nothing to worry about. If it makes you feel better, use a paper towel or wash cloth to sop up what little water is there.
Congratulations on your new unit and welcome to the MOC!

And sometimes those drain holes get clogged up and then water collects

Right you are! A little poking with a wooden/plastic toothpick will clear any clogged weep holes. Just don't break off the toothpick in the hole.
