Water leak source
I had a lot of rain water under the cargo bay carpet. Turns out I have a leak near end of the rain gutter at a split seam. Damage was hidden by the chrome trim. I had bonked this on a tree when wheeling a while ago. Check your cargo bay under carpet for moisture. It if left can rust the floor. Thus leak dripped water inside the interior trim so it was well hidden. I discovered the water do to a musty smell and a camping gear box being damp in the cargo area. Much of the water was hidden by being soaked into the soft pad that is under the rubber carpet backing.
have fun and stay dry inside!!!!
