Hello all,
I have a water problem I can't find the source of...or at least how water is getting to where I'm finding it.
I'm getting small amount of water (but any amount is too much!) under the dinette slide but ONLY the front 1/3-nearest the drivers seat. When I look under the slide (when it's pulled in) I can see where a small amount of water is running under the slide and has pooled along the 'divider wall' behind the drivers seat (the bottom of the divider is wet and has swelled from water!)
There is NO sign of water inside or outside EXCEPT along the bottom slide seal from the front corner of the slide extending back toward the center of the slide about 24 inches...this correlates to where I'm finding water inside the unit under the dinette.
I cannot figure out how water is pooling along the slide seal ONLY in this spot...but it is and because the slide seal is folded inward when the slide is in (logically) it appears to be allowing the water to work its way under the dinette slide, into the corner and a slow trickle across the floor.
I double checked level and I was about 1/2 inch low on the passenger side which explain why the water trickled across the floor but it shouldn't be enough to allow water to get under the slide and inside the rig. Regardless, for peace of mind (and to see if it works and stops the water from infiltrating) I repositioned and raised the dinette side so it's about 1/2 inch HIGH.
ANY suggestions on how water is making its way onto the lip below the slide and how to prevent it would be greatly appreciated.
NOTE: I've only (known) of one water issue on this slide and that was during a camping trip with the slide extended and we had a deluge of rain. I didn't have a slide topper (I do now) and I wasn't level, so water came in along the top. I closed the slide and the water stopped and I've never had another issue with it.
Thanks for any tips you might have. Happy Camping.
