As a note, when you extend the slides check the wipe seals outside to make sure they are positioned correctly. Sometimes. not often, one or two of mine may be rolled to the inside and I have to bring the seal out to make proper contact with the slide wall.
The funny thing is I've never had a problem when the slides are out. It was hard to track the leak because there is not much room above the slide when it is in to stick your head. I used an extremely bight light and looked from the end above the slide. I could see what looked like a small amount of water by the seal so I rolled up a paper towel and could just reach the area and ran the towel along the rubber seal to see if it got wet. The end of the paper towel was wet. The water ran over the side of the slide to the slide rail, ran the length of the rail and dropped down to the floor. Do you check the seals on the outside with the slide out?
