Default Mysterious leak

I recently purchased a Roadtrek Popular 190. We have had a lot of heavy rain here in TX. Twice now I have notice drops of water on the toilet seat. I have passed my hand over all areas in the tiny bathroom checking for a leak and everything is dry. I'm baffled. Any ideas? Thanks.

If a fan is directly above the toilet water can precipitate on the plastic lid and drip on the toilet.

No fan above toilet. The only thing I can think of is the connection where the hose for the shower is and the hot and cold knobs. But they were completely dry. If I can figure out how to post a picture of the area I will do that. Thanks.

If your ceiling is sloped then check uphill from there. I have seen water run across a sloped ceiling and drip 3 feet away from where it entered the roof and leave no trail.

Tim I will check that. Mike, I believe both times I discovered it while it was parked in my driveway. I was putting somethings in the bathroom area.
Thanks

When we first got our GWV Promaster in 2015 the factory had forgotten to caulk around the air conditioner, and it leaked into places you wouldn't think it could, including into the bathroom. So if all else fails you might check around the AC.

PS. I meant to say that we thought then that it came into the ceiling area from the AC, and into the bathroom around the light fixture.

Condensation would be my conclusion. I have had similar conditions on my 190 in the past and I’ve done the same thing you did and all I can include is condensation. No leaks of any sort, no valve leaking around the toilet, nothing from the showerhead at the top of the stall and since I live in California, where we rather low humidity, condensation is my conclusion since I can never find a source and the water is always potable.
