Water after the storm

Hi. We have a jayflight slx. We camp seasonally and the slide was out during the remnants of tropical storm Elsa. We got a ton of rain! When we got back to the camper we noticed the carpet was wet. Pulled everything out from under the couch and it looks like we had a leak. The walls did not appear to be wet and the shelf over the couch did not have water. Where could the water be coming in?

Thanks!

Air pressure could be forcing water through an otherwise tight seal. With a leaf blower on low power try seeing if you can feel air flow through a seal. Also, at night try a strong flashlight up against the seals and look for light coming through. If you have not done so, inspect the seals. Even a tiny twig, torn gasket and similar will allow in water in a storm. With enough wind speed water will travel up under your slide so check the gasket there also.
