I have a 28a+ and kept finding water in floor after rain storms..To make long story short my leak was from the "bottom up" .The sealant on the outside trim on slide had dried out leaving about 1/4 inch gap.
Water was running down exterior wall behind the trim and the vapor barrier was holding the water between itself and the floor and finally working its way under the slide until it found a low spot and ran out on camper floor.
The slide floor has heavy water stains but I think it will dry out and hopefully not rot.

2Bargos - That is exactly what mine was like that caused all of the water leaking. I hope you are able to fix it. I had to replace the whole floor as the slide would not go in and out correctly. This was due to the wood floor breaking down between the carpet and the plastic from the underside of the slide.
What I did not do when I replaced the floor was look at the areas where the slide rides on the wall. I now need to put some sort of slickery stuff in there to make it slide better. I am thinking of adding some UHMW Polyethylene Plastic strips to the underside of the slide to make it slide in and out easier.
