    Might check the seals on the tool box doors with the wind blowing could blow it thru the doors on those. Check where the sleeper attaches to the main cab as well seal there may have an issue. Hope you find it I hate wet feet in the morning.

    Yup,found where it’s coming in from... Cab/sleeper seal passenger side. Haven’t had a chance to climb up and examine extent of rip/tear ect. I’m positive that’s the original seal so we’re talking a 14 yr old piece of rubber so I guess it was due. Thanks for the reply.

    Know all about leaks in sleepers had several over the years. Annoying to say the least. Glad you found it!

    Well tigerkilla you getting it fixed that seal is not an easy fix. Just wondered if you are still wet if you are watch for mold. Will start growing pretty fast in there. You might consider taking the carpet out and drying it.
