Two places of entry come to mind.
We once traced an insidious leak to a pin-hole void in the goop they use at the seam in the windows extruded aluminum frame. Couldn't find it until we removed the window and ran water over the outside of it. Then we could see it slowly drip, drip..
Look very closely for loose wall paper, stains, bubbles, etc. under the window.
Also, where exactly is the water fill? Since it leaks just sitting there, this probably isn't your source but it's worth checking.
It's very common for the clamp for the hose between the filler neck and the tank to be loose. (Mine was loose and leaked at both ends).
Looks very closely at ANYTHING that comes through the wall. Water heater, furnace vent, etc. You have to look at them from the inside of the RV.
Good luck,
Scott
