Always carry an extra tube of roof sealant..
My wife and I towed the travel trailer to a dog show and then went glamping for a week. On the first day and night the rain came down in buckets, for hours. The next morning I noticed a small trickle of water on the wall. I grabbed the ladder and checked the roof. Some of the sealant on that corner had dried and had some small cracks in it. Lucky for me there was a Camping World not far away so I fixed it. Over the next few days we got a lot of rain but, no more leak.
I assumed that with a 4.5 year old camper I wouldn't need to carry such things. I checked the entire roof and didn't see any other areas that looked like they needed a touchup. In decades past we always had older RVs and I was well stocked for on the road repairs. Lesson learned. Carry a tube of sealant and check the roof before leaving. (As a side note I had just washed that roof a week before the trip but I didn't inspect it..shame shame).
