Leaky doors?

Anybody else had issues with water intrusion while driving in the rain?
The dealer where we bought our trailer replaced our door seals after the first time this happened that was November. On our latest (July) cross country trek our first/only day of rainy driving we were disappointed to open the doors and find wet bedding.
Dealer is being unresponsive and I'm looking for other options as we are on the "other" side of the country for a while.
We're going to use shower curtains to separate the bedding from the walls when driving in the rain in the time ahead until we figure out where/how the water is coming inside the cabin.
Anybody else been there/done that/figured out something we're missing?

The only water intrusion I have run into was operator error. Closing door and catching a small amount of bedding (sheet) on black gasket and closing the door on it. (easy to do)
Maybe try having someone shine a strong flashlight at night from outside along closing edges an see if the light can be spotted from the inside gasket area.
Good luck finding the water source.

I have been having the same issue with water seeping in at door bottom when towing through rain and wet roads. I can see light coming trough seal at bottom of the door. My camper is a 2014 and seals are compressed. I have been having trouble locating a new "P" bulb seal that is currently installed on door. The local dealer told me that seal is no longer being used. I'm still waiting for a reply from NuCamp.

Does anybody know where I can purchase a new seal for my doors. Pictured is a profile of the original door seal.
