Bulge in exterior fiberglass...
Oh, dear...this is new. Anyone know what this might be about? Water damage?

Take a few deep breaths and relax. These things happen, it's not the death of your rig either. Camping by the beach wasn't the issue, it was the lack of routine sealing on the roof.
Once you seal that area the wall will dry out, no need to run an oven or do anything drastic. I would not take out the window unless you've done that before. It's easier said than done, and not easy at all if you're doing it by yourself.
I would fix that area with Dicor caulk now before any more damage is done. Then I would wait to get into a dryer area to clean and reseal the whole roof. Take your time and do it right. From that picture of the leak, your roof should have had a reseal long ago. Never a good sign when the caulk has deep cracks like that. All you need do is pull up any loose caulk, scrub the old stuff real good, then place a thin coat of Dicor on top of the old or into the removed caulk areas. Work in two foot sections, and use the back of a plastic spoon to smooth the new caulk with. The self leveling will then take over and give you a nice looking job.
