Thanks... I did do a couple searches here on this site for "leak test" and such, but came up empty. I will check the above link out and do a google search as well. Also thank you for the description of how it's done.
This sounds like it's mostly for the roof of the camper though right? My roof isn't leaking, I believe the leaking is either coming from one of the slides, my suspicion points to the main slide. I think water is running under the slide seals and then down the side of the slide and making it's way in. As an FYI - I can see day light at the bottom corners of my slide when the slide is extended all the way. In fact the one spot I literally have a 1/2" to 3/4" gap (this side isn't wet) and probably at least a 1/4" gap on the other side, closer to the back of the camper (is getting wet) - I imagine I'd have to have some serious pressure to have gaps like that blow bubbles. Also, for the floor to get wet, it seems like it needs to be exposed to rain for a lengthy period of time. I checked it the first day and it was dry but I didn't have the camper leveled perfectly like I would when camping, so I did that in the rain. The next day the floor was wet.
Thanks again for all the input...

Do you have carpet in the leaky slide?
