We've camped in our 2004 Aliner Classic for several summers.  This year when we went inside to clean and restock it, I found water in the drawer under the microwave, but not in the bottom drawer.  Hmm.  We later remembered that there was water sitting on the top of unit over the microwave.  The microwave sits on a shelf inside the cupboard unit and did not seem to have any evidence of water.  There was evidence of water having been on the floor under the bottom drawer and under the curb side bench of the table.
Also, there seems to be delamination (?) on the wall surrounding the rear large window.

A couple of years ago we spent considerable money fixing a variety of problems related to leaks; new weather stripping, new flooring, new hot water heater.  We're pretty discouraged.  Can anyone encourage us with suggestions?
 
Hi and Welcome!!!

The chances are good you are dealing with a roof to sidewall leak or a vent in sidewall leak around the vent for the microwave/convection microwave unit (if there is one).

Roof/sidewall leaks can often allow water to run  down between the outer and inner side of the wall and thus end up around the vent coming in from there or down on the floor. It can often end up coming out around window openings as well. They are often accompanied by a brown stain from the luan plywood used in both the inner and outer wall sandwich construction.

De-lamination is a sure sign of a roof/sidewall leak. This joint is often the culprit and has to be meticulously maintained. Eternabond tape is usually a good help. Most of the roof material is attached to the sidewall by common staples in many cases.
