Location: MI.		This has happened twice now only when we had really hard rains for longer periods that we have noticed. There is a small amount of water coming from underneath the fridge(wall under the fridge) and leaking out onto the aisle floor a little. There are no leaks above the fridge in the cupboards anywhere. I am thinking(have not checked yet) maybe a vent is allowing it to come in. Any opinions as to what it may be?

Have you checked the body caulking around the vent frames? Is the vent cover installed correctly in place? Does it seat well into the frame?

I would suspect the vent cover as being a possible cause, along with any roof protrusion exiting on that side of the trailer; vent, running light etc.

The fridge vent covers do a pretty good job of keeping water out. Recently I power washed our trailer @2800 PSI and hit the vent side on. Checking the inside space afterward, I found no water had entered the area.

Water can creep a long way from its source. I would check everything above the rear of the fridge on that side of the trailer, several feet forward and aft. Look for any cracked body caulking as well.
