Hi All - I could use some help on this.... I am a brand new GMC owner and I just came back from a 3000 mile trip in my "new" '73. Family had a great time and the coach ran very well.(Many thanks to Jim K and the gang at Applied for their outstanding service when we stopped by for some upgrades). Here's the problem: We experienced some extensive downpours along the way and found the carpeted floors flooded. Lots of water coming in should be easy to spot, right? As far as i can tell, no water came from overhead or from the windows (I had the roof and windows professionally sealed prior to the trip)Strangely nothing above the lower floor carpet was wet. Some data points: no rusted ceiling screws or discoloration/evidence of roof water leakage. My fresh water tank was empty for most of the trip, the flood water seemed to colorless, and affected the isle and drivers side from bedroom to where the cockpit stairs begin. I have had it outside in the rain and it doesnt seem to leak while standing still. Any suggestions as to where to look for this seemingly massive leak? (just my newbie opinion..I susepct its road water coming up through the wheel wells) Many thanks for any help on this. Cheers
