[VAC] locating leaks



one of our famous mini-monsoons arrived and all
the rain prompted me to look for water inside the
trailer. i'm not sure how to figure out where the
water is coming from though (aside from the
obvious). at the door, there is a tiny little wet
spot on the left as i'm facing the trailer. it's
the corner on the hinge side of the door. so,
where does that water get in? (i do have the
common *soft door-floor*). perhaps it leaks in
through the vent thing that seems to go from the
fridge to the roof? or could it be seeping in
around the door (the rubber seal is wasted.. i
guess that's on the priority list, too). is it a
standard part at an RV store?

the only other spot i saw wetness was around the
base of the kitchen cupboard frame. but there is
a hole on the wall behind that i forgot to block.
i wonder what goes in that hole. it's about 3 or
4 inch diameter - like a pipe or something goes
there.. is that where the gas stove pipes out?
that part of the kitchen is torn up and i haven't
dug through the debris yet.
