Ok- going to try this today. However, I placed a large trash bag in the opening & seated the grill to block all water from entering last rain storm (2.5 inches & 80 mph winds last week) I had lots of water on my camper floor post storm.
But as I've described- I then removed all carpet and other obstacles and now I can see behind frig floor area, converter step area, dinette furnace duct area and did not see any evidence of a water entry area.
Possibly it's coming in via the roof vent... But, yesterday I used a garden hose and methodically sprayed a section at a time (frig, vent, hot water heater, furnace, all hatches. Etc...) The camper remained dry.

Sorry, I don't have a picture, but yes, pull that plastic fridge side grill off that the drain hose comes out of. (turn the slotted black plastic screws so slot is up & down, then yank on grill or may have to pry a bit at the bottom) You will see that the surrounding frame the grill fits into is flush at the bottom with a flat shelf where wiring etc goes through...check all the caulking for that shelf including the wiring holes. ....then use a piece of something non wood that will go inside that frame at the bottom on the shelf to make a lip, and then caulk it so that any water running down around that grill cannot run in onto that shelf area behind fridge because there is now a lip there to prevent it.
