2005 Interstate rear bath-water on floor after a rain

This may not be the right forum, but "leaks" looks close enough.
Just last night, it rained pretty heavily. Today I noticed some water on the floor under the refrigerator. I looked at the storage area under it and didn't see any moisture. The Fantastic fan vent was closed and the "ceiling" was also dry to the touch, as were the walls. I looked outside and opened the door that ventilates the refrigerator and saw water on the metal floor of the fridge compartment. The caulking seems good.

Any suggestions? (This is not a test.)
regards

Mission Accomplished!

I took the watering can my wife uses to maintain her houseplants and put a couple of cups of red-food colored water in it. That's so I can trace the source of the leak.
I opened the external door and gained access to the works of the fridge. I poured about a tablespoon of colored water into the compartment. I then went into the camper and found that there was some red-colored water dripping from under the fridge just by the bathroom door.
Very glad that the roof wasn't involved.
regards
