Get that leak stopped first, how is the water getting in? Why haven't you stopped the leaking?
I've had roof leaks on on a few trailers, once the water was stopped things dried out nicely.

That model should have a walk on roof. I own a RPM 5th wheel 295FB.
A full reseal was done, the entire roof coated and all penetrations caulked, windows, vents, lights etc. Everything has stayed water tight so far after three years.
Mine was built in 2005 and its needed continuous attention just like any other RV of similar age. Its best to touch them up with caulk and the self leveling stuff at least once a year. Had to replace all the plastic covers and vents on the roof too.
