We are in the middle of a 6300 mile trip from Ca to Ga and Back. We were in Nashville for 2 days when a Rain Squalll with 60-75mph winds and Rain(heavy)for 2 hrs. came thru. We whethered the storm and in the am packed up. Put both slides in, made sure all was ready to go and off we went. I made a left turn out of the space and was showered with water from the living rm slide and also the kitchen fan area. Anyone had this happen before? We do not have a ladder,didn't think we would need one...What would cause this? What needs to be done to remedy? Any suggestions would be welcome! We have a 2005 Dolphin LX 6320 32" Workhourse Chassis,8.1 V8, Fusion toad.....
PS
Anyone going to the Nascar Races in Atlanta over Labor Day? We will be on the Backstretch Terrace overlooking the raceway. Come by and say Hi.
Thanks

Yep....early in my ownership days, after having rain water pour on my back while driving, I learned to check the top of my retracted slide (inside) for a water puddle up there on top, especially if it has rained recently. I usually try to level the coach with the left side (slide side) and front about a half inch lower than the right and rear to get drainage away from the coach, off the top of the slid for water that blows under the Topper..

Yes I have had this happen and now if it has rained real hard I check for water on the slide. I also move it in a bit till it tilts and let it set and drain for a while.

Thanks
It rained on us heavy last nite and before we left I moved the slide in about 3 or 4 inches and well it worked. Water came pouring off the topper and the slide. Thanks for all your help. No second shower today...
