DRV leak

I have a water leak on a 38RSSA. It is under the bed slide against the side wall. The insulation is saturated. I have looked as many places as I could inside and out and all is dry. It have been back to the dealership that I bought it from and they sealed everything they could find. Even around marker lights. Last time they pressurized the coach and found nothing. Looking for suggestions. Thanks.

Flex drain pipe for the Washing machine or leaking at the back of the KantLeak valves.

I know it's not the washer or the valves. We haven't used the RV for more than 2 months. Only gets wet when it rains. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Look closely on the roof by any vent tubes or if you have the Windgard wifi booster make sure it is not cracked and leaking. Are there any vents on the Bed slide. I found a leak early on with the backup light on the back of our DRV no sealer at all was used.

There is one vent all the way forward and on the bed slide. I have no idea what for. There is nothing in the closet that needs a vent. The bath is on the other side of the bed and so are the holding tanks I believe. I will have to check that closer. Thanks

That vent is actually just a chase for solar. If you pop the cap off and doing a bit of fishing around you will find two wires for solar. It is possible it is leaking in that area. The hard part with leaks they never start where you think they should.

I will try to get on the roof today to check the vent. It is not at my house. Great suggestion about the vent. Not sure if it was checked closely by the dealer.

I was able to get on the roof today. Yes that vent up there was a chase, thank you GTM41261. I pulled it apart and the insulation was dry with no sign of a leak. So I checked the other side where the winegard wifi booster is. I pulled the cover off and found it full of water. It appears it was leaking around the antenna. Now I know why it wasn't working. All sealed up and back together and now the wait to see if it dries out. Thanks to everyone for your help.
