2001 225 weekender, how the heck do I have water inside my sliding cabin door entry. All summer when shutting or opening I heard water sloshing and just thought it was the head needed to be emptied. Well turns out I have water inside my door that sloshes when ever i open or close. Is there a drain or plug on the bottom where I can drain it out?...I don't want it freezing when I close up for winter sleep. Should I drill a small hole on the bottom of door to drain?

must be coming thru the door hardware. But it is strange indeed.
 
I was thinking that was a possibility too, I started taking the hardware off but it is such a solid, tight fit with a solid core I stopped because I did not want to damage anything.
 
I'd drain the water by drilling a small inconspicuous hole and then try to vacuum it all out with a shop vac. Maybe you'll be able to hear where the air is coming in from once you apply suction. Worth a shot.
 
Shaps, thanks for the advice, that is actually what I am planning to do. My end goal of course is to prevent it from happening again.
