Great info on this guys! So you are correct that the slide was open almost the whole time the camper was parked since we were doing a little driveway camping during some of the remodeling, AND we had a very rainy spring and summer.
When the slide is closed, the outer bulb seal seats all the way around, so I would be very surprised if water was getting in there during driving. Also supported by your statement that the Darco is clean, which it is.
I mentioned I did brakes and a new awning, well I also replaced the seal on the trailer that wipes the top of the slide out...I wonder if it stretched during installation and then pulled back leaving a gap in that corner?
Ironically, raining here today, but camper is tarped because the outer fender skirt is off....It's going to be warmer later in the week so when I get back to it I will run that water test, check those seals, and post a few more pics.
I hate to think that I may have created this problem, but the clues are sure pointing in my direction...
