Hi All
I have CT with a vinyl floor, recently it has started to get water in through the floor , the water pools in the corners and where the internal poles sit on the floor, there are no obvious holes or tears in the floor, and there is no water leaking down the inside of the canvas walls.
I'm stumped, any suggestions/solutions ?
Cheers
Dave T

Hi Dave, I have had this exact thing happen to my trailer. It could be any one of the answers you have received so far, but if you had your awning on, it could be water running along your external horizontal awning supports and back in through the hole in the side of your canvas wall, onto your internal poles and then down the poles and it pools around the poles on the floor. If you did have your awning on when you noticed the water inside, and you think I may be right, the fix is just as simple, when setting up your awning, dont make the extenal horizontal supports exactly horizontal, just leave them running slightly down
hill and any water that gets on them will run away from main tent and not towards it.

Hi Work2travel
Thanks for your help, its a good theory but unfortunately I did not have the awning on when I discovered the leaking. I will keep your advice in mind next time I put it on though.
