Can't find leak

I apparently developed a leak. The floor in the bunk room near the window has a very noticeable soft spot that seems to be getting worse. It is obviously a leak but can't find where it is coming from. I have noticed some slight delamination on the back wall starting about the halfway mark.
1. There are not water marks on the ceiling or the wall.
2. Rear slide is in immaculate condition.
3. I have never found any standing water inside.
4. Tried running a hose on the roof to identify the leak with no luck.
5. I inspected the caulk on the roof and back wall and have not found and obvious cracks to explain the leak.
Has anyone else run into this issue, if so what did you find? All I can do at this point is re-caulk the entire back end and cross my fingers. I am open to all suggestions.
  • Sealtech is a national company (franchises) that are able to perform an interior pressurized leak test. You can also DIY if you have a blower that will introduce enough air. I use a furnace squirrel cage blowing in through a window. It develops more pressure than what Sealtech uses.
  • Could be the window, could be the seal around the slide. If other areas look good that would be my next point of concern.

    Maybe they will depends on the quality of the dealership
