There should be two seals around the slide out, an inner and outer. You will want to check those.

But since the slides typically go over the floor below it, I am going to guess the rain water is coming in from either the front or top seal and running down to the floor rather than from below. It is not uncommon - and more often than not - the water you see is from a leak several feet away.

The seals may not be damaged, but the slide mechanism may simply not be calibrated to bring the slide in far enough to seal it properly, or perhaps you are not keeping the switch pushed long enough.

You should release the slide switch when you hear a change in the motor pitch.

However, since this is a new coach, the slide could be out of alignment or square, which is not allowing it to seal properly. Of course, a seal could have been torn, installed improperly, or other damage done to it during construction.

Another thing you can do is with the slide all the way closed (in), check the gap all around the slide. The gap should be fairly close on all sides. If it is significantly different, one of the seals may not be contacting sufficiently, and you may have an alignment or construction issue.
