Unhappy leak in bedroom

2 questions in one day!…..a palm size water puddle appears by my bed (on the water connections side)and the bedroom slide out, (2015 ST 32 RL), the pass through is wet too, but not under the bed or anywhere in the interior as I know. The top of the wood in the pass through appears to be dry also?….I thought that not having one of the pass through doors only locked and the butterfly turn not fastened was it, (was not aware of it at the time we left for home in a 300 mile driving rain storm for half the way), but that was 2 weeks ago and when I put half a fresh water in the tank there was my old water problem again!…..any ideas?…..2015 camper with more problems than I bargained for!…..should have bought a tent!….and not a Crossroads brand!……or Thor!…..and help would be great!….thank you anybody…...

Water leaks are hard to track down. I had a puddle next to my bed, and I could not figure it out. I resealed the roof and sprayed it with a hose, and the puddle came back. I finally found the seam on the outside wall just above the skirt with the bulb seal covering the screws running horizontal along the side of the trailer had a small bit of clear silicon caulk missing. I resealed this area and sealed the screws under the weather stripping, after that no more leak. My advice is to check everything. slide out seals storage area seals. all silicon running along the joints, and roof where it meets the front cap. Water can get in the smallest of spots, then run down the wall and out onto the floor. good luck

Check your clearance light on the top of the front cap on the same side as the leak. Factory's are notorious for forgetting to seal them properly.

We had a leak in the bedroom slide and didn't know about it until we brought the trailer in for service as the bed had separated from the wall in the slide. The service manager told us there is an inherent problem with this particular kind of slide and he is taking measures to make sure it does not happen again.

In the meantime, they have to replace the bed and some carpeting under it. The water never showed up anywhere we could see.
