How your Rv is leveled has a lot to do with how much water comes into a window thru the weep holes.
I found out in a rain storm when the weep holes in the window could not keep up with the amount of rain coming down one side of my MH....was due to the fact that my MH was ever so slightly tipped to that side. I got out and leveled it and the water coming in immediately stopped.
What I do now especially if traveling during rainy season is when I level the MH I raise the 'front' ever so slightly up so all the water runs off the back and NOT to either side over any windows. You will not notice it but that little bit makes a big difference for the water run off.
Many of RV'ers have been talked into replacing windows when all it really was is the RV not level and the weep holes not being able to keep up with the excess water from the roof flowing over that one side.
