I have a problem with water leaking into my outside kitchen and into the bedroom. Our RV Dealer replaced the outside kitchen door and thought they had fixed the problem. They even checked the window seals above and replaced caulk on the outside. After a heavy rain it leaked again so I noticed that rain was seeping into the RV around the bottom hinge and there was no seal. Is there suppose to be a seal under the outside kitchen door bottom hinge or does it just need to be caulked? Thanks.

Your door flips down where mine flips up. I would think you could add some silicone to seal that or a strip of foam that will compress when the door is closed.

Exact same problem here on my new 25G. We just woke up to a trail of water in the bedroom coming from the outdoor kitchen.
I am 99% I found out what mine is though, they put four self tapping screws into the baggage door frame into the wall at the bottom. I simply poured some water on them and the water disappeared! Pulled out all the screws and found every head was broken and the holes were not filled with sealant! Another example of piece work… rush rush rush, no checking their work.
I was wondering why the grey wall on the side of the bedroom was “peeling” in the corner, now it know. Will see about getting that panel replaced under warranty assuming we don’t find more water damage.
They should also have a rain gutter/reflector above each of the baggage doors to prevent water from going straight into the door seals, I had this on previous trailers will have to look up the pics.
In the meantime ensure you level your trailer so water is running off from this front corner. That should angle the water away from the door and seals.
Cheers
