So you have water coming out from underneath the side in the table area when the slide is in?

Is/Has it been raining?
Have you checked under the sink for either a supply line water leakage or a sink drain leakage?

[GBB3]

Yes

Yes, heavy steady rain

Did not check under sink
But we had winterized and had no water to use

then it's probably coming in through a leaking seal at the top and traveling down the sides and bottom of the slide and dropping onto the floor. If it's a hard side rain it could be a leaking seal on the side of the slide.

Check out this thread... Likely culprit.

When you look at your slide out from the outside, you’ll see that it is framed in with a border. Check the seam where the frame attaches to the slide, particularly along the bottom and the sides. Water penetrates there then flows in through the metal tubing into the inside of the coach. The leak may be coming in there. If you find out that it does need sealing use Geocel and not bathroom grade silicone as tempting as it may be.

We had a 2018 Miramar with a drip in a similar location. In our case, it only happened during super heavy+windy rains and seemingly only when at home, since our driveway sloped so much that we were always a little nose down. In our case it turned out to be the seal around the frameless window above our sofa (where your galley is). The window opening was cut a little too large, so the primary (foam) seal wasn’t making any significant contact (could drop in a thin flat screwdriver and it would hit the inner window frame) and to compound things, the sealant bead was so anemic, I don’t know why they bothered. Once I sealed it with some Geocell ProFlex, we never saw that particular leak again.

We also had problems with water pooling on top of the slide when it was in and eventually running off the slide when the minor depression filled up. Never got to the bottom of that one, but think it was at least partially due to the slide awning being 4” too narrow, according to the slide awning manufacturer’s measuring instructions.

TL;DR version: the leak could be many feet away and running through the walls, floor, or following wires, etc. Always look uphill and higher than you might think.

We’ve since bought a new coach (now that I’ve fixed virtually all its shortcomings) and home.

Had the slide been extended while it was raining and retracted ?
