I hope I can get to the bottom of this leakage. I looked closely yesterday and I do NOT have water leaking into the basement, all of the water is seeping through the door and out the bottom via those weep holes. I just have to figure out where the water is entering. This is puzzling as the door on the opposite side doesn't have any water issues whats so ever.

You may be on to something with those examples you posted though! Thanks again!!!

I had a similar problem with a door quite a few years back when I had a fifth wheel. I finally decided the the problem was with water running down the side of the RV and pooling between the seal and the door. When I would open the door the water would run down. Sometimes if the pooling was large enough it would run down the rubber seal and pool at the bottom of the door. I got some small rubber gutter that was self adhesive and put in on above the door. the water that ran down the side was diverted and the problem was gone.
