When my spoiler leaked, it was most noticeable on the rear of the trailer and the bottom of floor was wet. Inside I never had any water. The water was running down inside the wall to the floor and then out trailer on bottom. Oddly nothing wet in the trailer. Good luck MJ, the rain may help locate.

We had a leak one time. The Rpod was parked with the slide-out in. When we opened the slide-out, there was a puddle under the refrigerator. We chalked it up to the 80+ MPH winds blowing rain directly at that side of the Rpod. It's not happened a second time.

Well, the heavy rain has made it leak again. I removed the valance and window shade to get a better look at where the issue is. I have atleast one leak that appears to come from the vent for the stove hood. I think it leaks in there, then runs down the window and drips in a couple places. I'm going to go get some silicone caulking and run a bead around that outside vent. Hopefully that's the only leak.

You may want to look at the sealant around the tail lights.  I looked at a used RPOD a few years ago and the unit had leaked around the tail lights for a long time and the floor was completely ruined.

So My Lexel finally came in (thanks for suggestion mcarter) and I have run a nice big bead around the suspected leak. Now, we wait. Shouldn't be to long a wait, rain is forecasted for the next few days.
