Pictures too small to tell much, but you need to remove the trim and pull the siding to inspect the damage behind.
Rule of thumb is that if the wood is rotten to 20 percent you can use epoxy filler to patch it. With bigger damage it needs to be replaced.
Don't cover rotten wood as dry-rot is a disease and will keep on going even when leak is fixed.
Also RV have seal or caulk under the trim. Caulking on top of the trim will help, but will not be guarantee fix.
