I just finished sanitizing my 2021 Rpod 196 and noticed water dripping from the bottom center of the underside of the trailer. The drip is right where the black water drain goes through the bottom cover. I am thinking it is overflow water from the greasy water tank that overflowed into the space between the floor and bottom cover. There is some lack foam caulking but it also a low point where excess water would go. Should I be concerned?

I don't have a bottom cover but that is going to make it more difficult to troubleshoot.
I would say in general that pretty much the worst thing that can happen to a travel trailer is water damage, so I think it needs to be tracked down and either fixed or eliminated as a concern as soon as possible. If you're under warranty I'd take it to dealer and ask them to determine the source of the leak.

I'm experiencing the same issue on my RP-195. Did you find what it was?

I've had this happen, and talked with others too. We are assuming it's caused by rain. Ofcourse this is not proven, but it seems unlikely we all have the same leak. I've smelled it, it has no odor, and appears fairly clean.
