Hi.
I have a 2016 579 and I noticed today that the rug in the sleeper in front of the bunk is wet. I thought it could be the refrigerator but I don't think that the refrigerator produces any water.
So I thought maybe the rubber seal around the sleeper and I looked at that and it seems OK.
I'm at a loss as to where it's coming from.
Any ideas?
It's still under warranty since it only has 80k miles on it.
Thank you

My truck has the same problem check under the bunk. There is a hole in the floor of the sleeper or the water is getting in thru those vents on the back of the truck. I just put a spill kit under my bag of cloths. I won't be in the truck long enough for it to be a problem.

If it a "real" fridge with a compressor and freezer it can freeze up and/or produce water. Check the drip pan and shut off the fridge for a day or so and let it fully defrost. If it's Thermoelectric then you're leaking water from somewhere else. Guessing if the bunk AC is a separate unit you could get condensation drip from the unit also.

My 2013 Schneider Cascadia is the same, but only when turning right after a storm. I've taken to covering my radio with a towel when it starts raining :-/Another Canadian driver Thanks this.

Care to provide more information on this recall? I've never heard of it, and I'm looking at the list of the recalls right now and don't see it.
Take it to a dealership then. If you have warranty, use it. I've seen too many drivers void their warranties by trying to fix stuff themselves.Another Canadian driver Thanks this.
