Water running

Purchased a 2021 Keystones 401 loft. Upon closing last year when bringing in the slides water ran down the wall underneath the microwave. Has anyone had an issue like this?

Since I have no idea regarding the configuration of your RV, can't speak specifically regarding water "under the microwave" but can tell you that if you had water sitting atop the slide while it was extended, when you bring it in, all may not have been scraped off by the rubber scraper at the top of the slide cut out and some may have gotten into your cabin. Anyway, since this is your first post, I want to welcome you!

Thank you for the kind words. I forgot to mention when we purchased the trailer we also invested in the roll top slide protectors so there should not have been any water up there.

Welcome to the forum

Slide toppers are nice but if the rain is accompanied by wind, then water will find its way on top of the slide. Sweeper seals do remove a lot of debris and water but you can still have a small amount run down the sides as you retract them depending on the angle of the roof.

That's a huge slide! There's nothing on it that uses water, so it's not a leaking water line. With the refrigerator on one side and the pantry on the other side, I doubt it's runoff of water that has pooled on the slide roof.
That leaves only one thing - a roof leak. You indicate you have a slide topper - the track that is screwed to the exterior wall that the topper fabric fastens onto is a very common entry point for water. When was the last time you had that track resealed? Also, the edge of the roof has to be inspected and sealed periodically.

You're going to want to get on a ladder to reach the top of that slide and feel the inside wall for rot. I suspect you are going to find that at least a section of the frame around that slide has suffered water damage.

There is an exhaust hood vent opening behind the microwave. I'd check for water intrusion around the vent. That's the "only source of water entry" underneath the microwave.... It may be a leaking seal around the vent framework but just as likely, it's rain water that was blown in through a leaking or a missing "flapper door" on the vent.

I'd check that range hood vent carefully.
