2007 fleetwood revolution wet floor pass side

We have a 2007 Fleetwood Revolution, 40 feet, with four slides. There is a Power Awning on the patio side. When it rains, the carpeted floor under the passenger seat becomes very wet. The moisture seems to collect around the passenger seatbelt mechanism and, occasionally the wall under the mechanism; but, the carpet becomes very wet. I have been on the top of the coach and sealed all seams and the dealership where we bought the coach, put silicone on the automatic awning tracks. None of this has been successful in stopping the problem. Any thoughts on solutions?
  • I added water diverters on my bed room slide as the rain water would wet my carpet. Solved the problem. I purchased a section of aluminum end molding from Lowe's and a can of spray paint to match.
  • A buddy of mine had the same issue on his 07 Eagle. When he took it back to the factory, they installed special water diverters on the bottom edge of his slideouts to direct the water out and away from the coach. His floor would only get wet when the slides are extended. On the newer slides they have changed the sealing around the slides to prevent the water from coming in on the bottom edges. To see if this is your problem, the next time you know it is going to rain hard, duct tape the big rubber slide wiper securely to the slide box and see if your floor stays dry. You can also thoroughly wet the area with a hose and check for leaks, but i think a rain test is better. Then you can decide if you need the diverters. Fleetwood is aware of the issue, and they can steer you through modification.
  • when we had this issue on our excursion, it was the window that was the culprit
