We fitted mud flaps to our motorhome to prevent such spray. We hadn’t any problems but acted through suspicion that the spray may become a problem.Spray from the front wheel can get to that area

Inside gas locker seems to be very dry . The opposite side of van in the photo is exactly the Same..just the corner floor very damp and corrosion set inWhat is it like inside, have you checked ceiling/wall and inside gas locker ?
I am going to take a a better look at your idea when the rain goes of . The window has just been sealed but I could have quite easily missed something .If the gas locker is sealed as it should be then could a leak from the window surround above be coming down internally and tracking across to the damp area?
Thanks Paul
Yes the darker photo is the floor bottom where I have lifted a portion of linoleum ..
I will take a look but on this side corner there is no plumbing .
Must be external leak but this is beating me as the exterior seal that side looks intact and also the cover is on that points to your theory that it’s from low level ..
God it beats me .
Thank you all for your input and dunnah1 for the help regarding my seperator yesterday .

Mudflaps will only stop some of the water but the pesky stuff can be quite determinedWe fitted mud flaps to our motorhome to prevent such spray. We hadn’t any problems but acted through suspicion that the spray may become a problem.
I will get underneath the MH tomorrow and check if water is tracking along the length of the van .the wet points are at the corners ( both sides opposite)just before the drivers cockpit and passenger .. I have not had the vehicle out for ages to use so have not run heaters plumbing etc” .. it’s defo only when it rains outside . Cheers very much .Is the wet bit the extreme end of a floor that runs much of the length of the van? And is there, anywhere along the length of this floor, plumbing - pipes, taps, boiler, water pump, tanks - above the level of the floor?
If so, the water can run quite far from its source - I've seen it travel about 4 or 5 metres from the source, in a double floor, before emerging somewhere.
It's probably just worth eliminating that as a possible source if there is any possibility that it could come from inside.
Tell me about it ? Stress on !!Mudflaps will only stop some of the water but the pesky stuff can be quite determined
When I bought the van it had been garaged for two years and never used over this period .As water can travel some distance before settling and causing rot, I would consider a damp check to explore where else damp may have travelled from. The damage would tend to be caused, I guess, when the water cannot escape and spends time there.

Yep the water filler pipe I have seen to and made sure it’s tight and safe for filling .If that's the fresh water filler point to the right of the gas locker, It may be worth checking the filler pipe to the tank to see if there is an issue there.
