Had a similar situation on an '04 Tahoe. The way the waterproof fabric was attached at the front actually funneled water under the trailer between the fabric and trailer frame.

I also think the smoother undercarriage might help aerodynamics and handling. In this case the water infiltration was from the bottom up.
