Best way to seal leaking storage bins

My son has a Starcraft Bunkhouse trailer. His flooring of his storage bins is at the main level of the floor and is more or less under the main bed. It appears that his storage bins are leaking and the wood floor has rotted behind the bins. There does not appear to be any water in the walls around the bins just the floor itself.

He is in the process of replacing the floor but is unsure how to seal the bins so they don't leak. He is looking for suggestions.

Thank you

Shirley
  • I have one outside storage compartment that has in and out doors.I used rubber molding on the inside lip, and adjusted the latches tighter.I seemed to getting water in when driving in heavy rains.Not any more after the mod.I hit it with a HI press washer and it stayed dry.
  • Had a unit which water came from the tires, wet pavement...had to tighten down some screws and then sprayed seams with a rubberized spray bought at an auto place. Just a thought to check out.

    Another is the rubber molding inside the compartment may not be seated correctly.
    I also replaced that on one of the rigs.
