Water leak in wheel well?

Hey all, just got back from a trip to florida. I drove in the rain for several hours yesterday and when I got home today and unpacked I noticed lots of moisture on the right side under bed storage. Upon further inspection under the camper I see water pooled up in the floor and it’s starting to bubble on the bottom. It looks to be worst next to the right wheel well area. As far is I can tell I see no signs of water entry in the side wall interiors or ceiling, so I’m wondering if the water might have gotten in from a weak spot near the right wheel well from splashing during driving? Not sure what to do next.

I didn’t notice any water or moisture on the other side of the camper, just on one side

Looks like some water coming out near the bottom screw of the wheel well too.

Is that a water tank right by the leak area? If it is, that is where I would be looking.
Yeah, but it’s empty I’ve never used it before since owning the camper. I didn’t even know it ran up into the sleeping section of the cabin..thought the tank was all contained under the sink. I put a dehumidifier in the camper tonight to hopefully dry out the water in/beneath the floor. I didn’t wanna take apart all the framing today to see more of the floor cause I didn’t have enough time, but may do that tomorrow. I suspect some water got in from splashing up while driving…maybe there’s a hole somewhere. I found water dripping near one of the screw holes that connects the wheel well to the side of the camper.

Seal the wheel wells. Check out this maintenance reminder here: https://teardrop-trailers.vanillacommunity.com/discussion/183/important-maintenance-reminders#latest

Thanks @Sharon_is_SAM. I took a look at the wheel well more today and noticed some areas where the caulking is compromised.
