The awning mounting trim sure is big suspect.
I had that on my Lance, what coming from dry climate had relatively low dryrot, yet the beam above slide was completely rotten. Good roof.
Doing the repair I figured out the manufacturer never put a seal on awning trim and water penetrated via screw holes.
I triple caulk the trim on the top.
I tried that already. Replaced the screws with stainless versions and embedded in caulk during reassembly both upper and lower mounts. The wet area is only below the window. I just began to think that there was too much water going over the area. It's like every time it rains, mother nature is holding a running garden hose over the side of the window non stop, flowing down the window and over the lower mount. I'm preventing that volume of water from getting there now.
