wet carpet under the slide out

anyone know what would cause the carpet to get soaked where the slide was slid in when traveling in the rain.

  • We bought a new fifth wheel. The first time we pulled it in heavy rain the same thing happened to us. But, we forgot about it because it was a year or two before we drove in heavy rain again. This time we took it to an rv repair shop. The seal along the bottom of the slide was not in place, and I'm sure never had been as evidenced by the previous leak. The shop put in a new one and no more problem with an under the slide leak.
  • The spray from the wheels is getting past the seal along the bottom of the slide.
