Been looking at new travel trailers and 5th wheels since we sold our old one a few weeks back. And the Puma 259RBSS peaked my interest. Its a bunkhouse stick and tin build priced at $22950 locally. ...

I have basically the same thing in a travel trailer. I haven't had any trouble except the roof. The rubber roof just started letting water into the plywood, no holes it just soaked through.
The warranty is no good, called Puma and they said call the maker of the rubber, called them, nothing, cost me $5400 to get it all replaced.
This was 6 years into a 12 year warranty.
Other than the roof I have had no problems.
Would I buy Puma again, no. I would get an older aluminum frame if there is a certain amount to spend.
That sounds like a nightmare. If there are no tears or holes in the rubber roof seems like the leak may have come from a seam or other seal. Were you not able to determine the location of the leak? What did the maker of the rubber roof say? Also did you keep up with the seals and seams as far are regular recaulking when needed? I read here that it is suggested to check at least twice a year.
Edit: also what year was your unit.
