Hi Don,
Need some more info. See this pic with the red arrow I put on it. I could not get it under the slide, but that is the area we need more info on. Need some pics pointing up under the slide floor from the wheel area. It appears there is heavy floor rot in that front left side corner of the slide. The 2 x 3 looks almost gone on the end near the slide flange molding.
Try to get pics with the slide closed and open. We need to see how the slide floor flanges seal out water from getting between the slide floor and the camper floor framing.
This leak is not new. A semi educated guess is 3 maybe 4 years.
Looking on the roof, it looks like you may have Eternabonded the perimeter seams, if so, what year did you do that?
Do you have a slide topper? Can't see with the tarp on and my memory of seeing your camper isn't that good anymore...
It also looks like you might have used Proflex or some other sealant on the molding above the lower steel siding. Did you also do the vertical slide molding that holds the rubber gasket and if so, what year did you add that sealant?
Hope this helps
John
