Leaky slide or what?

The floor was spongy near the rear of the trailer and when I peeled up the linoleum I found a lot of wet plywood. I have no idea where the water came from. The shelving under the sink is dry. Can the slide leak (no topper) if left open in the rain? I can fix the floor, but how do I trace the leak? Ideas? Leaking condensate from the fridge maybe?

    Another source of leaks can be through the tail lights and or the running lights.

    Pull the slide out and spray around it with a hose....simulating rain. Have someone inside watch...

    Have you inspected the seals (wipers) on the top and sides of the slide-out?

    If they are deteriorating or crimped, not lying flat, water can get in.
