Our previous travel trailer, Outback 298RE, had a slide in closet in the bed room. After one trip we were removing dirty laundry from that closet and everything was wet. Examining the bottom of the hanging cloths that touched the bottom of the closet, all of that was wet too. Camper was still less than a year old.
I went on a mad search trying to figure out where that water came from that soaked the carpet on the bottom of the closet and absorbed into the hanging clothes touching it. It was WET.
I sprayed water from all directions on that slide out. I couldn't make it leak. Every time I washed the camper, every time we went through a rain storm, every time we towed in the rain after that, I'd check to see if that carpet was wet. I did this for the next 4 years, and it never got wet again.
We've since traded that trailer, but to this day, I still do not know what made that closet floor sopping wet!
Sometimes, mysteries just never get solved. I certainly hope you can figure yours out though. My first thoughts would be the refrigerator condensation is the problem. Good luck.
