I have found that after a heavy rain or after washing my 2000 adventurer 35u that when I open a storage door, there is water draining from the lower door frame. I thought that drilling more drain holes in the frame bottom might work but thought to see if others on this forum have addressed this problem.

Mr. Nutimike63: Check your door gasket for wear. You may also be able to remove a shim from the door latch and snug it up tighter. I had to perform that adjustment on mine.
I have a leak in front passenger side outside cabinet door were the hot water heater is housed. I believe that the water travels along the molding above the door and seeps in.
JERSY BOB: I had a similar problem last winter down in Florida. After much checking, I found I had a check valve leaking in the rear of the water heater. It was very small leak, water ran under the heater and soaked the floor covering in that small bay. Fixed the check valve with a new one and no more water leak. Just a hint. Hope it is simpler in your case.
Like you after a hard rain I to used to get water in the cabinets, Our friends have a Newmar DP and what I noticed was Newmar seals the lip with silicon where the wall meets the top lip above the door hinge. I tried it on ours and wa-la no more leaks... It looks like some of the water was finding its way down through the hinge... Also check the gap between the inside door and the gasket... I did it at night with the basement lights on. ... I guess that's way Winnie uses mildew resistant carpet!
The water seems to be getting inside the door from the cut out of the water heater exhaust. You have to caulk the seams in that square cut out. Like others said there are some other issues that need attention also.
