I'm at wits end. I have a Shadow alumnium gooseneck horse trailer. The seams running along the top of the roof began to leak so I got some EternaBond aluminum roof tape and got it all fixed up. No leaks. Aired it out. Set to go. Right? No. It has been raining all day and when I was out tonight, the center of the floor is still damp. I demoed all the carpet and the metal floor is damp. I don't see any holes or cracks in the floor. Don't see any drips or leaks from the ceiling. No leaks on the walls. Nothing. Just a damp floor and only in the center. I have experience in flooring and know that sometimes this can happen with cement slabs on buildings when the moisture content under them is high, they wick up the mositure. However, I'm completely confused on the aluminum floor. There aren't any other damp areas than just right there in the center of the floor. Any ideas? I'm about the lose my mind!

Could it be condensation? Is the trailer insulated?

Condensation is the only thing i could possibly think of at this point. But, why the 2'x2' spot in the center of the floor? Not the lowest point of the roof above it either. Trailer is insulated.

When a surface is sufficiently cold, moisture from the air starts condensing on it.
