Water dripping from underbelly

I have 2022 30RLS.

When I was unhooking and unpacking I noticed water dripping from the under belly. This was return trip and tanks where empty, fresh, both greys and black water tank only had 5 gallons in it. The water dripping seemed from like fresh/rain water. It was raining some on the way home, a short bit of down pour mostly light and steady rain fall. Another thing I noticed is when the slides were brought out these was a bit on the floor from under the slides/

Questions is there path for splash up from the tires to get on the top of the underbelly? Thus contact with the bottom of the slides.

Just curious if others have seen anything like this or what the issue is with water getting to these places it shouldn't be.

Yes, my valor went in for this issue. I could see daylight from inside at tops and bottoms, dealer redid top seal and seems to have taken care off, bottoms they claimed alliance said was normal. Not buying that excuse. But, yes I have experienced that puddle a time or two.

I have had this happen twice?
thought it was my dump valves but it’s not?
can’t figure it out? No water dripping behind nautalis board? No water dripping on the ground at campsite? I go to lower trailer on to truck and water drains out from the coreplast underbelly?
Headed. Out this weekend, I’ll see if it happens again?

Midnight Rider - How did you fare on your next trip referenced above.

I have pressurized all systems, both using water pump and city water and nothing leaking. Headed out on long trip tomorrow and will see.

I have also noticed water dripping from the underbelly after I drive through puddles/rain showers.
Looking under the trailer, it appears that the underbelly ends in the wheel wells and has no seal to keep water from entering at that point. I'm not sure if that's where it's getting in, I've not done any extensive investigation, but I suspect that's it.
I can't remember the exact design of our other 5th wheel trailers, but we never had this happen on any of them.
If you come up a definitive answer, I'd really like to know.

Same thing happened to me? I went through great lengths to replicate the leak and I cant find it. I was high and dry last weekend camping? NO Idea what the leaking was twice? I am thinking it may have come from my toilet? Tightened that down as well.
