ACE Water Damage

Found water damage in the rear of the RV and can't figure out where it came from. Its only on the floor...not the walls or the ceiling. Unsure how water got in there. Any ideas???

Water is "devious" it will travel many feet, ask any roofer.

It could run down inside a wall, not causing damage till it gets to a low point, where it will pool.

Start a general inspection with the ceiling, vents, AC unit, clearance lights, slides any and all roof, penetrations.
Walls next, windows, tail lights (that's where our was) and the slide.
Floor last, you guessed it the slide is a good source of water, that's were our class A had a leak, slide topper... never did figure out how it got in the over the bed storage but resealing the topper stopped the leak .

In addition to the previous comments.....not familiar with your coach specifics but where exactly is the water? Any track left from source to where it is pooling that can give a hint to the source? Any big rain storms that you have recently driven through or camped in? Sometimes slide seals can allow driven rain through even with slides in. Also inspect under the bed for water leaks where I “suspect” your fresh water tank (and electrical systems) may be located. There have been times when people have unknowingly damaged the internal water hose from the fresh water fill port to the fresh water tank that results in some water leaking into the coach, even if it sounds like it is going into the fresh tank. Any coincidental timing between filling fresh tank with water showing up on the floor?
