Is the vent in the bathroom? The spot in your first pic is below the furnace. When you used the shower it got bigger. Is it currently raining? What is in the hole below the furnace, a drain pipe from the sink to the tub?

The vent is in the bathroom and I first saw those drippings when we had the river rains happen here in California. Yes, when I used the shower I saw more of a puddle again. I will remove that piece of wood and see what's behind it and send a pic..

From what I can see there doesn't seem to be any water on the floor?

First thing I’d check is for cracked vent cover. If it’s not cracked you’ll need to go up on the roof and inspect the layer of caulk around the vent that seals it to the roof. If there are any voids you could try and add some sealer or you may have to remove and reseal the entire fan. Here is a video on that https://youtu.be/b_USGR5BzVs

If you’re not handy or don’t like getting up on the roof you might be better off having this done by a professional

It might help if you posted the model number of your trailer. Saying it's 21ft doesn't help much. Then we might be able to find a pic of your floorplan.

I believe it's a 17bh.

Thank you so very much! That is something to go off of and I will ask one of my handy neighbors with a ladder to help me with this at least to identify what's going on!
Oh I actually posted a pic of my floor plan on this thread on one of the links maybe it's underneath the floor plan pic that I received?

You should visit your welcome packet email and follow the instruction on how to post a photo into your post. Makes it easier for everyone to not have to leave the site to look at a photo.

Okay good idea I will take a look at that as well. I can see here the icon for posting a picture but it doesn't allow me to go into my photos for some reason so that's why I have been using the create a link option. Thank you again!

If you are using the computer/web browser, click the paperclip icon at the top of the editor and follow the instructions on the popup. You will be able to navigate the entire file system. When you have selected up to five items (one-at-a-time, you can upload them and then close the popup.

Post #8 here.
https://www.forestriverforums.com/fo...an-211152.html

Had this on mine also. And #10 shows a good picture of a possibility. I just had to dab a little dicor into the holes for the clips, four of them.

Look for any cracking or sealant that can be pulled up.

I removed the trim piece at the ceiling and fan and it gave me a better idea of where the water was originating.

I have had rainwater blow in my shower vent during periods of heavy rain and wind.

You are going to need to start eliminating things. Start by drying the floor when it is not raining. Does a puddle reform? (leaky pipe connection is the culbrit) No pudde, then shower and see if the pudde reforms. Continue trying to eliminate possibilities.
