Hi Jason, I am assuming that your fridge is leaking out through the door seal.
At the back on the inside are the cooling fins and underneath them the plastic would had been moulded into a shelf shape.
Check this shelf for a pool of water.
There is a small drain hole in this shelf which I suspect is blocked allowing condensation to flood the fridge.
A cocktail sausage stick will free the blockage.
Best of luck.

I agree my fridge has been permanently on for 15 months and that has been the only issue

Mine packed up over the weekend.

I found this post forum/topic.php?t=2342

Mine was almost the same except it was a dead moth blocking the jet. Stripped it all out, cleaned all the jets and now producing cold bottles of water.

Nice one Eamonn. A little bit of maintenance goes a long way.

Fridge is 20 yrs, only have it 6 months, never had an issue till this week, water appeared on floor of van from under fridge and cooker area. Not from inside fridge, removed vent panels on outside of van, cold water droplets coming from back of fridge

There should be a plastic evaporator tray at the back of the fridge where the moisture run off collects and is evaporated. That's where I'd be looking.

Reckon that's my issue, its the longest we have used the the van, I can't see any tray, so we uesd a plastic tupperware dish and a towel, had no issues after that, I'll get one made up and maybe a discharge pipe,
