I had the same issue on my Miramar and after spending days with a garden hose finally discovered the entire length of the slide had no caulking on the top of that lower trim. Most of the time the water that would leak in would evaporate on the floor before I saw it. I actually discovered the leak by sleeping in the RV in a truck stop during a thunderstorm, with the slides in. I got up when a garbage can blew past the RV and walking through to the front I stepped into a small puddle of water.
I spent the next several days discovering and solving the problem."
The trim was found lacking in caulk in many places. The water would leak behind the trim and seep under the material on the bottom of the slide and drip from screws that penetrate the material...easy fix.

I read that thread the other day and plan on going to go out tomorrow when it’s raining here. I am still dumbfounded about the water droplets on the wall though.
