I know rain is getting in thru one or both of the side vents.....neither vent is cracked.
I think Old-Biscuit's suggestion to wipe the leads with dielectric grease is worth a try. If that doesn't work I'll try the zip lock bag trick!
Thanks to all
I have a customer that complained of a slide leak when in heavy rain that came INSIDE the slide room. It turned out he had those add on Bug screens wire tied to the vent louvers of the outside access doors of the refer. The refer was in the slide and had both the lower and upper doors. When we rain tested the slide, the water was hitting the outer edge of those bug screens and channeling the water into the back of the refer compartment. It came in the top and bottom doors and saturated the coils of the cooling unit and then that water drained thru the wood floor of the refer cabinet onto the interior of the slide room. Do you have those bug screens installed? Removing those screens stopped the leak. Doug
