Could be a leaking toilet if you had left some fluid in the flush tank and the frost has cracked a connector etc.

Might even by something simple like a leaking water pipe or connector to the tap.

might be the outlet pipe frozen with some water behind the blockage ,backing up through the plug hole as you said ,i would look at that as the most logical due to the weather recently .

even if van is static frozen water expands taking the easiest escape route ..which might be upwards

We had left some fluid in the flush tank for a couple of weeks we haven't used the shower so not sure if its draining away. Took the carpet out doesn't seem to have been anymore water today. Cheers
