Water dripping from conduit

Has anyone experienced this problem with their Seneca? I have a conduit and wires coming from behind the drawers next to the stairs that has water dripping into the compartment. I have checked the sink and plumbing in the area and the floor under the sink - drawer area and all seems fine. Since the hole is near the stair well, I am thinking water may be coming in from below? The wood by the stairs near the hole seems to be damp. Just wondering if anyone else has this issue????

I see that your Seneca is a 2018.5 and not sure but the picture looks the same as our RB, looking in that compartment. This conduit contains the power wires from the inverter and goes up though the floor and into the cabinets. If you have water dripping down through this hole then I has you have a water leak in either a supply line or drain. In the case of the RB, there is a path that water can travel all the way down the passenger side and being the Seneca sits a little high in the rear, any water would travel towards this hole. In the attached pic, you can see the top side of the conduit.


It would be a pex fitting crimp that has a small drip, a plumbing fitting not tight. I have found an easy way to find a damp fitting or joint is the hold a Scotts blue paper at joints and fitting and if there is any wetness there there will be a dark spot on the paper towel that shows up good vs using a rag or white paper towel. It is not uncommon to find a pex crimp that was not done properly, I have found 3 in our Seneca so far.

Thanks for the info. I did check the lines at the kitchen and we can see the floor under the sink. It looks to be dry, and I did not feel any wetness on the fittings. My guess is the seal on the outside cover for the TV is leaking. I plan to put a towel inside and hit it with water. I recently had compartments leaking and found that the seals were installed upside down. The repair facility went around and reinstalled the seals right side up and no more leak. Probably the same issue with the outside TV. Still, I will take your advice and check the fittings with a blue towel! Thanks again!

Our Outside TV door still leaks to this day...

After just a short rain that hits the side of the Seneca, it can have quite a bit of water pooled in the bottom of the TV door frame.
