Hi, I have '05 Rockwood 1910, and I think I may have a water leak problem. Last campout, I noticed the tile on the floor near the bed closest to the hitch was discolored. I think that is an indication of water under the linoluem? If so, how would one figure out where it is coming from?
Thanks for your help.:usflag:

Maybe something was sitting there that "stained" the linoleum during towing or while camping?

If not, then work your way outward and upward, looking for ways water can get into the body and floor via a front storage box that leaks or other external trim and seams.

Nothing was sitting there while towing or camping. Will try and investigate further.
I do remember some water in the front storage box that I cleaned out. At the time I didn't put two and two together. With this piece of information, does that mean it may be somehow leaking in the seam between the storage box and the camper? Or thru the storage box itself?:confused:

Thanks for the help.

I had a Coleman Niagara that had a leaking problem in the front storage.  We tried everything on the top lid to stop the leak but the water keep coming in.  Then one day when we were washing it we found water inside, so DH soaked the front while I looked inside.  The water was coming in from the little side door instead of the top.  Our door was warped and we had it replaced and all was well.

Hope this helps.
