The model no. WD-282FWDC-BS you have comes up as the Everchill RV Refrigerator w/ Freezer - 10.7 Cu Ft - 12V - Stainless Steel # 324-000119 so that most likely is the case. Typically if a fridge is leaking water it is either that the door gasket is bad and causing condensation to build up inside the fridge or that the condensation drain line is clogged with debris or ice and water is backing up into the fridge.

You can contact the manufacturer, Way Interglobal, for the door gasket. For the drain tube you'll need to first unplug the fridge and leave the doors open to thaw out for a day or two so that we can rule out an iced up drain line. Then you can remove the rear cover and you'll see a drain tube sticking out (pictured below) that you can clean out using a long pipe cleaner.

If this doesn't solve your issue please reply back and we can troubleshoot further.
