Water will travel an amazing distance before getting to the interior of the rig. Look at every caulk seam on the roof. If there are any cracks in the caulk get a tube of DAP self leveling caulk for EDPM material and cover the cracks. I have found that I have to do this about every 3 to 6 months as the previous caulk shrinks with age and exposure. If the crack is on the vertical surface use the non self leveling caulk so it doesn't drip away from where you put it. Both are usually available at RV parts and supply locations. Make sure you clean the surface before applyng the caulk.
