My rv tech seemed to be very knowledgeable on this billowing problem. He said the air is coming up from the hitch into the front end cap and seeping under the roof trim. He said it is very likely the roof end cap trim piece is missing some screws which also helps the air get under the epdm roof. Turned out he was right. Many screws were missing on the front trim but were hidden by the liquid roof sealant the factory uses.
The tech removed the front trim, a/c unit, and cut a small hole that he covered with a faux plumbing vent. After gluing the rubber roof back down, he added a second trim piece next to the original to ensure no air would come under the roof trim from the front fiberglass cap. The hole job took him about 4 hours.
This was all done about 12 years ago. No issues since then.
