First time driving in a downpour, upon arrival at camp, carpets were soaked by bedroom slide and dining slide. Never had an issue til now. Any ideas where to start looking for leak?

Check the seal on the bottom of the slide. My slide above the wheels, had a d seal but was about 1/2" from contact. I installed an additional d seal on the opposite side to make the seal complete.

the rubber seal on the bottom of the slides is right on the edge of the floor in your coach. I do mean right on the edge. If that seal is even slightly loose due to anything, it will allow water to go right inti the living room/ kitchen floor. Especially if its right above the wheels. water coming off the wheels at 60mph, literally will push past the seals like you had pressure washer pointed at them.
