**Does anyone have any ideas where we can start looking before we drag it to the repair shop?** We have a 2014 Fun Finder 266KIRB travel trailer. After our last trip on July 4th we emptied the gr...

So happy to see so many answers. Surely, it is one of these issues. The TT is no longer under warranty. When it was under warranty, the dealer had to fix over 17 items in 2-3 visits. One of the visits they had the TT for six weeks! We are willing to try to fix it ourselves or take it to a local RV repair shop rather than deal with LaMesa again.
Anyway, took a quick look last night. I noticed an inch gap in the underlining in the back, right below the bumper. It looks possible that the water could have been hitting the bumper and running into the gap running to the front. We took out a couple of screws before adding four more screws to secure it. In the back three feet that we could see without pulling down the entire underbelly, there is NO insulation. We took a quick look at the front where the initial water poured out from and there is NO insulation in the front 12 inches or so. I guess that might be both good news and bad news.
This weekend we will take out the entire underbelly, look for any leaks (in case it wasn't the water from the back), hoist up any falling wires, hoses, etc. (since it is the shabbiest workmanship), check the fresh water, check tanks, etc. We will also check all of the outside rails, seals, etc. This is probably something that we should have done a year ago after finding so many issues.
Thanks everyone for all your insight. People are so wonderful to come on here and help out a stranger. It truly makes a strong RV community.
