Is it parked on the flat or on a slope with the nose up???Most common water entry point for the rear is the leaking skylight but I can only see this be possible in your case if it’s on a slope and the water is running along the roof before falling.?

Hi All,
Thought I'd try to tap into the collective knowledge base of this forum to see if anyone has figured
out how to resolve the issue I'm having with my beloved aging EVC.
I am trying to determine the most likely cause of water accumulation in the flooring underlayment
in the rear storage area, just past the rear hatch door. (see pics)
I have a 2002 full camper.
The flooring is soggy and soft from water accumulation.
(this has probably been going on for years, but noticed it recently)
The van has sat out all winter experiencing lots of heavy rain exposure.
There is no obvious entry or water trail from the top of hatch door.
I have dried out the wet area using a fan and heater.
All it takes is the next heavy rain and it is soaked again.
Again no obvious water entry trail.
The van has not been driven lately, so the cause is not from road spray underneath.
?
Could this be caused from the poptop seal or silicone caulking in the rear corners?
The silicone looks intact and has no cracking that I can detect.
However, I do notice that the poptop seal is really compressed and flat where the rear
corners are. See Pics.
The door seal itself seems intact with no obvious damage or compression.
Please give me your best advice (or best guess) on how to resolve this.
?
Thanks in advance!
Andrew
