Odd Leak In Cab Floor!

We have a strange leak in the floor of the cab in our 2004 PW Plateau. We just noticed it a few days ago; it had been raining, but I don't know if that caused it our not. In the rear of the cab floor, right between the seats, there's very small hole (less than 16th") in the floor. We noticed a little puddle of water standing there and when we wiped it up and pushed lightly on the floor water squirted up - a few inches up! I don't think there was a hole before, but I can't be sure. There's less water a few days later, but still some squirts up when you put pressure around the small hole. Has anyone had a similar issue? Any ideas???
  • sounds like you have a leak and the water is running down and pooling in your floor.

    I'd start with a shop vac to suck out as much as you can.

    assuming this has gone on for a while you may have rot in your floor and rust underneath.

    1st is to find and fix the leak.

    could be anywhere that the roof is penetrated- vent, plumbing vent stacks, window seals, antenna etc

    then check the seal where the top joins to the steel van body

  • Check your A/C drain, If it is clogged the water can run onto the floor. It's happened to me, though not in the Roadtrek.
  • Thanks for your responses. Don't think it could be the AC; we're in Canada and haven't used the AC for a couple of months.
    The water is coming up from underneath the floor through a tiny little hole so we can't vacuum it up.
    Might have to take it to an RV repair shop so they can get it up on the rack to investigate well.
