Leak around entry door

We had rain most of the day yesterday with high winds. I decided to go out to the storage lot and check for leaks on the new unit. As soon as I opened the door I noticed a trail of water going across the floor. I thought originally it was coming from the slide but decided to check the level from left to right and the slide side of the camper is lower so it had to originate from the door. Everything on the outside of the door looks to be sealed so not sure exactly were it's coming from. Top pic is under the fire extinguisher next to the door, bottom pic is towards the slide out.

You didn't list the model and year which might help.

Inspect the seal all the way (top, bottom and sides) to see if there is gap, misapplied, loose, etc. rubber seal. You can also close the door with the inside lights off and look for light showing on the edge, better at night with a strong light on the outside.

If it all looks good, check the door to exterior wall for sealant. The door should be installed over some kind of seal to keep out rain.

If all else fails try the hose test starting at the bottom and slowly going up till you find the leak.

My guess, it's at the top and then runs down to show up at the bottom.

My front window leaked on the first rain at home. Top corner so bad you could see light outside! Went all over and checked and caulked every window and the doors. Dealer was too far to return for that service.

Could also be from the roof and just finding its way down and out the edge of the door.
