My 2004 Allegro Bay on the Workhorse chassis has a wet floor in front
of the rear closet. I pulled out the draws and the floor under the closet
below the plastic was very wet. I dried the floor, both under the closet and in front.
After heavy rains, no water. Running the rear AC, no water.
I have come to the conclusion that driving in heavy rain throws water up
into the area where the closet wall paneling and the floor meet.
I'm in the process of sealing this area, and adjacent areas with Flexseal.

Does anyone have thoughts on this.

Have you used the , black tank flush system recently ?

There is a "vacuum break" in the flush line , that is prone to leaking , and because it is above the floor , may be in the area where you're seeing the water.

Is it that close to the rear closet?

The vacuum break is usually straight above the flush hook up , and mine is under the bathroom vanity sink . if your vanity sink shares the wall with the closet , it could be your problem.
I think this link has pictures

Thanks for your info. My wet floor is on the other side of the bedroom from the common bathroom wall, so I don't think that this is my problem.

Check for gaps in the wheel well area.

You are probably on track, and thanks for your help.
I think that the area that I found, as described in my original post, is as close to a wheel well area that there is and I've sealed that joint as well as can be done. I really believe that during heavy rain the tires throw water back and up
into the joint where the rear closet wall comes down to meet the floor.
