I just had a leak last week, and it was obvious the water was coming in under the wooden window ledge on the rear window of the B/R slide. I assumed it was a window seal problem, and bought silicon caulk before looking at it.

Well, I got the ladder out, and found that only the top of the window was caulked to begin with, and I could see some areas of the side window seal were not making tight contact with the window wall. So, I re-caulked around the top and sides of the window, and so far, with some serious rain, NO WATER COMING IN!!!
