Water leak on floor from where??? (2002 Bigfoot 2500 10.6)

This is crazy-

After a big raIn, on occasion I find a "dinner plate" size puddle on the carpet BETWEEN the refrigerator & the dinette.

Not coming from ceiling... Seems to be coming in near the step to the bed? Or under the coverter? Can't really tell cause it is random & possibly effected by how level the camper is on & off my truck?

Never been in the camper when it's rained as it's currently off the truck. Btw- frig is off.

Only thing I can think is that possibly is coming in via the outside furnace door or the water heater access door?

Do any of you Big Foot folks have any experience with this?

We are expecting a big rain tomorrow so will take a flash light & investigate....

Any feedback welcome.

Tks,
CWT

This. You will be shocked where water will come in and where it starts.

I would start by looking at taking the refrigerator vent cover off, and likely recaulking all around the roof near there. I doubt very much if it is coming in from the side.. but certainly look there too.

Remove the fridge cover outside and check the walls and floor to see if you see water or moisture.
