underbelly is wet

I just got a 2000 forest rivers cherokee 37' travel trailer that I have some things I got fixed and working last night. I was aware when I bought it I had work to do but price was right. I noticed when I was under it last night the whole underbelly is like a thick rubber my old camper was more like a nylon than rubber and my neighbors fith wheel has like 4x8 panels that come out. But this is more like a one piece rubber. But If I push up on it it feels like there is water in it. I am not sure where or how it is getting in. the walls do not show any signs of water in them or anywere else. I am not sure if I should just drill some 3/16 drain holes thru out to let it drain everywhere. I just would like to hear what or were to look to locate were water is coming from.

  • I am going to look around somemore tonight if I get time but I have not found anywere to look in for sure. I don't think I will have a critter problem since there is other spots were I would say then could get in if they wanted to anyway.
  • That doesn't sound so good. If you drill holes, it will allow mice, squirrels, insects, etc. in. Can you check from the inside to see if there really is water down there?
