Thank you all for the response.
I'm not sure I understand your fix. Do you mean put in a sort of block at the base of the frig? Ie- where the little black hose and frig drain hole is?
UPDATE: after another big rain... The water on the floor was worse than ever... Even poured down into the basement.
I pulled out all carpet, removed step to bed, removed all furnace vents.
So - I've looked in all "craw spaces" surrounding the leak area and I can't see where there is evidence of any water "rolling" in toward the middle of the leak area. Very strange.
Going out today with a garden hose today to se if I can recreate the leak.
Tks, CWT

I had similar issue with 2002 2500 9.6 Bigfoot some years ago. Found that rain water was getting in at the back of the fridge at the bottom of the outside fridge vent cover sometimes if camper was leaning slightly to the left. My fix was to use an aluminum strip sealed with Dycor across the bottom of the opening about 1.5" high to make a lip so water couldn't run in across the flat area behind the fridge. When I got my new 2009 Bigfoot with Dometic fridge I checked that vent but found that Dometic had already put almost identical lip there from the factory. Hope this is your problem too as its an easy fix.
