Leak in doorside slide

We have a '06 BH3500RL. While visiting here in Ramona, CA, as everyone knows we had 3 days and nights of steady rain. The carpet where the table sits was very wet. It appears to be the wettest in the forward, outside corner. Can see no apparent place where the water came in, either inside or out. Has anyone else had a similar problem. Never been wet in this area before. At a loss as to where it came from.

If you were pulling it in the rain it probably is wet from water thrown up from the tires. It enters in from the bottom of the slide. Those "06" models weren't sealed too well there. However it is a pretty easy fix.

Actually we were sitting still with the slides extended. We did have rain about the last 50 miles coming in on Monday, but since then it has just sat. Have never had water come in like this when we were driving, even in real gully washers. What is the easy fix?
 
Check the front bottom part of the slide. As you stand and look at the slide, the piece of angle metal should be caulk. We had the same problem with the bedroom slide. Water would run down the slide to the angle metal (not caulked) and then run down the metal to the inside. After caulking no more leak.
