We have a 2008 keystone freedom lite, which has an enclosed underbelly. After a rain fall, I am seeing water dripping from the underbelly(which is under the spare bed). The only thing under the bed is the fresh water tank and hot water heater. I have not put any water into the fresh(potable) water tank. I can not figure out where the water is comming from. Does anyone think that it could be "pooling" on the underbely and because the unit is not totally level(it is on my driveway) it is just leaking through the cut outs for the water hoses? I would appreciate any help. Needless to say I will take it back to the dealer, but I am trying to gather more information.
As you stated, take it back to the dealer so the incident is documented, and for the record take a picture of where you had seen the water exiting the underbelly. It may be something as simple as the way the rain water was running down the side(s) of the TT, and possibly entering into the underbelly near the seam joint.
The possibilities are numerous, insure that you are satisfied with your dealer's explanation and/or fix.

Get it fixed FAST. Here's a pic of what i found in my 2000 a couple days ago from a small leak that made it into the underbelly.
Leak could be anywhere. i think mine is from window seals. request a pressure test of your unit to search for leaks and try to witness the test yourself. Many ppl here on this forum recommend http://www.rvleaks.com/
Some have even done DIY tests that have worked quite well but yours is all warranty work anyway. Level in your driveway will make a difference in where the leak shows up in the underbelly, but i don't think it should be able to cause a leak in any way.
If it were mine i would make them cut open the underbelly and make sure it is properly dried out. if the insulation is saturated to the point it's leaking through it could take months to dry on it's own and that alone will definitely cause damage.
