UGH!!! Water Leak

New to us 04 windsport. 1st rain and has leak somewhere between the fridge and toilet room. Small throw carpets soaked it up , so not too discouraged. Fun will be trying to track down the source. Not coming down from ceiling ( no spots visible ) . May take it to RV service center and have roof inspected / sealed or something.
Been wanting to clean the carpets anyway. Now it is done.

Have fun and be safe everybody.

I had at least 3 water leaks in and around that area at one time or another.
The first time it happen was under the bath room sink.
The second time it was the toilet spray line where it connected to the back of the toilet.
And the third time it was in back of my water heater tank which is located under the stove area.
Once you dry up the areas in question put some paper napkins in those areas and maybe you will get lucky and locate where the water is comimg from.
It may take some time but you can do it.

Looked at it yesterday and saw what looked like a small dry riverbed in the compartment behind the fridge. Could be from rain blowing in at an angle. Also , door just below , for the heater is not sealed well at all. Nice little weekend chore.

Have fun Terry. Thanks for the napkin idea.

FWIW I finally decided to just carry a small wet/dry vac with me all the time. Leaks are common enough to need it and got tired of using up the bath towels trying to soak up the water. It's come in handy a number of times.

Found it , I think. Living room slide seals look funky.Went out this weekend and carpet under slide was wet. looked at the seals and they have a few cracks here and there. Rear Bottom corner bend in seal looks more like a fold , instead of a radiused corner. Going to get a shop to replace the whole shebang. ( Both Slides ).

I had a leak once in the bathroom and it was not raining. We found out it what from the roof AC going down to the bathroom side. The tech found out when he start the AC and saw the water rolling down the roof toward the bathroom. He seal that area and all is well.

I added a small silicone rubber strip to fill in the gap , and no leak during the past rain storm. I need to see if the slide ends can be bent back to being straight , or I will just live with the added silicone rubber strip.
