Leaking slide from towing in heavy rain?
The background: Got home last night from a late season camping trip in southern WA (just the dog & me so no copilot). Sunny summer-like weather on Monday! Started out in light rain and no wind that ...

Thx for the additional comments!
The flex cable thingy for the fridge could be another possibility and will check that out.
Yes, the AC is directly above where the water was. One more possibility.
Can't say that I'm overly impressed with the way the factory seals things up under the slide and wheel well area. Driving at 50-60 mph in torrential rain for hours has to be almost like shooting a fire hose up there. Wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find that water is getting forced into or wicked through cracks.
It's not like I'd be towing in this kind of a rainstorm often though. Can't recall anything remotely close to it in the past. Am guessing that if any water is getting through from below it's not going to get better over time, it'd get worse so warrants a good inspection.
I'll use caulk and Gorilla tape in suspect areas. The local guy with the SealTech blower said he will rent it out to some folks and that's what I'll likely do next spring and which will be good for checking for leaks anywhere else.
