Well...we found the culprit! SailorSam was right! It was the toilet! We had too much water in it and when we hit a bump it came right out and did the exact pattern we had experienced before. I hooked the camper up and had my wife drive us around storage which has speed bumps and that is exactly what it was! Now we know to just put enough to keep the seal wet.
Really appreciate everyone's thoughts and help on this!

Glad you discovered what it was.
Thanks for reporting back.
I mentioned in an earlier post we always turn off the pump and relieve the pressure on the system when traveling... opening the toilet valve is usually how we accomplish this.

If you have the old-style arched faucet with the 180 degree bend (like the picture), when you turn the water off, it only flows out down to the peak of the arch. The vertical riser remains full to the peak. It just takes a bump or fast turn to run some out. If the sink cover is on, it's going to get slung onto the floor. Same with an arched lavatory sink tap (which I just installed!  ).
Come to think of it, the pulldown hose sprayer faucets have the same arch and will do the same thing.
(Fortunately the one I installed is in the trailer that is permanently sited. No problem.)

We secure a sandwich bag on our kitchen faucet when traveling.

Water
Would a stuck water pump anti back-flow cause this? Or whatever it is that causes FW tank to fill when hooked to city water.

I had small amounts of water in my trailer because of a cracked waterline fitting close to the water heater. Took about 3 years before I finally found it. It was just a drip when the system was pressured up. Also had a cracked water tank filler tube. That one was a much larger puddle. Dealer fixed that under warranty.

This was my first thought. How much water was in the toilet? Should only be just enough to barely cover the valve.

Same here. I have a different trailer and my bathroom is on the main floor between the garage and the living room. The water splashed out of the toilet and traveled the whole length of the floor. Luckily, I figured it out the same trip it happened.

Maybe a loose water line under one of the sinks or the line going to the pump or even the line going to the toilet. We had a small leak on the line going to the toilet and even with the pump turned off we still had water leak onto the floor. The source can be hard to follow as water can travel in werid directions whe the trailer is in motion. We thought we has a roof leak but all it turned out to was our toilet water line.

We have the same trailer and had the same experience with too much water in the toilet. I was about to post that, but as I read I saw someone else solved your mystery. It was unexpected!

Could it be coming from the air conditioner? Maybe some condensation from it?

I have the exact same TT, bought 9/19. I stay in it several days every week. About 3 months ago I came home and there was a small puddle of water on center of floor in front of fridge/bathroom door. It didn't seem to have come from anywhere. I wiped it up and next day when I cam in i notice a little on the floor behind toilet. It was then I discovered the water was leaking a small amount where fresh water hose enters the toilet in rear. I put small container under the hose and it sometimes goes for a week dry other times very small amount (less than 1/4 inch over a few days. Due to my scheduling it has been difficult to get in into the shop. It is in fact in the shop today for some warranty and other issues so they are taking a look at it.

Picked up camper after service visit two days ago. The dealer replaced the connector/fitting where the water hose enters back of toilet as they said it was leaking there. Dry so far, time will tell.
