2014 Bounder slider leaking

Purchased a used 2014 Bounder (gas) 36E last year. Only 5,000 miles. First trip it rained hard, and carpet alongside the master bedroom was soaked (side nearest rear bathroom of coach). Slide was out all the way, and does not leak when retracted. Have not been able to identify where water is coming in. No problem during summer, but heavy rain this winter forced us to deal with it. Our shop replaced all four vertical seals. Took it home and in several days a big storm started the leak again. Water inside the rig this time was confined to the floor space between the bedframe and rear bathroom wall. The carpet seems to be "wicking" water from underneath the raised area halfway back on the bedframe. It was only damp right at the joint where the floor meets the 6" rise for the slider. No water visible under the bedframe, however the vertical plywood behind the wet carpet area looks like it may have a water stain. Still not sure exactly where it is coming in. Anyone know if there is a level adjustment for the slider unit to make water run away from the rig when it is leveled? I welcome any ideas.

I have had the exact same leak in. It has happened twice in the 3 to 4 years Ive owned the coach. Both times after a heavy rain. It was not a real bad leak, I couldn't figure out where it was coming from and it hasn't happened in a long time so I kind of forgot about it. It would barely get the carpet wet.

Smile 2014 Bounder slider leaking

Sorry this is so late, but we did find our leak. Instead of looking high we should have looked low. The leak was on the slider (passenger side) along the piece of channel steel that forms the bottom and side joint. It should be sealed with silicone, but ours was missing in an area about 1 1/2" long, as though a bubble made it skip when applied. After a ten minute fix the rig is dry as a bone, and has been in several large rainstorms since the fix.
