2021 Imagine 2400BH - Water is accumulating on the floor under the galley cabinet at the curb-side wall. There is also water on the front pass-through floor and collecting in the under floor membrane outboard of the frame (curb-side, again). The trailer has been stored indoors for the last six months and all these areas were dry coming out of storage. It rained last night and today, well, the hunt for a leak source begins...
I'm fairly certain this is not plumbing-related 1. pump/city water connection not used in the last six months and 2. plumbing is still winterised with no sign of antifreeze where it shouldn't be.
Roof membrane and top-side sealants all appear intact... same for the front cap. Sealants around the exterior curb-side wall fixtures, windows, and cargo doors 'appear' intact.
My suspicions:
1. The infamous awning gutter rail. The rear 12", or so, of the gutter rail pulled away from the wall previously and was repaired by the dealer under warranty. It appears to be affixed appropriately, but there might be an issue I can't see. Also, the gutter rail has a butt joint in the area above the galley window. This joint leaks water down the outside of the wall - might it be leaking down the inside of the wall, as well? I'm thinking the entire gutter rail needs to be pulled, inspected and re-sealed.
2. The furnace side-wall exhaust port. (I mention this only because this is where water is accumulating inside on the floor.) Any experience here?
3. Rooftop A/C mounting gasket. I've never checked the A/C mounting bolt torque or gasket integrity... is it possible or likely for a leak at the A/C mount and have water follow a rafter to the sidewall and to the floor? I pulled the inside grill and all appears normal.
What am I missing???
