Class A shopping in the rain

The first one was a 10 year old Bounder. It was leaking from the slide and the dinette cushion was soaked. So I went to some of the big dealerships. Looked at a 2016 Baystar and water leaking from the front cap onto the dashboard. Scratch that. Next up was a 2017 Vista. Really liked the rig, but a pool of water running from the bottom of the slide to the center of the rig. Is this really the way it is with slides? Is it the rule that they leak or the exception? The salesman commented that Newmar invented the slide, and their new patented system is the best there is for stopping leaks. Maybe he means their upper end units? If I had bought during dry times, I have to wonder what I would be dealing with.
not our experience. we're on our third MH and the second one with slides. we've never had a leak through the slide or windshield. we DID have a leak through the salon's roof vent which did some minor discoloration of the fuzzy ceiling material.
