Exterior Power Port
This is the receptacle for the big power cord for shore power...for lack of better words. Full of water. And it had not rained in over a week. We just had a thunderstorm...going to check, but I feel certain it is full of water.

Which model? Where's the power input located? Is the water heater above it? Is the water inlet above, or near it? How about the
gutter downspout? Are the water tanks full? Are you hooked up to city water? Is the pump running if you're not? Are there lawn
sprinklers nearby?Howard and Peggy

It is a 22mle. Power port at rear of RV. Ladder on one side, furnace vent on the other. RV has not been used since last December. All or most water removed from lines with low air pressure at that time. Downspouts not an issue. Not hooked up to city water, tanks empty, no pumps running. I always use a level when setting it up. RV is as level as it can possibly be. Prior to hooking up power yesterday I opened the port and water poured out. I dried it out good before connecting power cord. I removed power cord last night. As previously mentioned, we had a good storm a little while ago. I had not yet put power back to RV. I opened power port...RAIN water emptied. Dried it out and connected power. Thanks.

I have the same model but that has never happened to us. Did it just happen once? Can you provide a pic?

Can you look into the port and see if there's a gap allowing water intrusion? It's possible the port wasn't caulked sufficiently well enough to keep water from
coming in around the port itself. Sometimes the caulking looks good, but you discover it hadn't adhered to part of where it was supposed to. You might try
hosing it down, from the outside above the port and see if water comes in. Then try taping around the port and do the water again. If there's no water anywhere
in the trailer it pretty much has to be coming in from outside.Howard and Peggy
