Leaking slide from towing in heavy rain?

Is your refrigerator close to where the water is. On ours, while traveling in heavy rain/wind the water will blow into the refrigerator vent and leak out onto the floor from time to time. I use duct tape to seal the vent if I know I will hit rain.

Excellent suggestion! Yes, have a fridge in the slide. Went and looked and the floor is bone dry.

I think I might have found the culprit... Not 100% certain, but very likely the culprit. Dumb dumb if that's all it was

It was raining when I was shutting up shop and getting ready to hit the road and had a winter jacket on that got soaked. Hung it up on a hook across from where I found the water on the floor and didn't think twice about it. It probably dripped water and ran across the floor. From now one will hang up wet jackets in the shower. Have a large garbage can right below the hook and no water is in it tho.

Just looked under the slide with it out and everything looks okay. I see that along the outer edge of the slide along the full length there is a piece of thin aluminum bent at 90 degrees and the horizontal part gets covered over when the slide is retracted. Maybe it's possible that water could get wicked up into the slide floor? When warm returns next year, might put some Gorilla tape along the seam.

Have been thinking for a while about getting a Sealtech pressure test done one of these days. Just called the local guy that does it and he says it's getting to be a bad time of year to do it due to weather. His new shop isn't ready so can't do it indoors. He suggested just putting the cover on until next spring. He said he would also rent the unit out which is fine by me.

Time to put the cover on it seems (sniffle, sniffle, wipes tears away).
