water, entering from behind. and how to dry inside wall

Hello,

I was replacing the side and rear marker (running) lights.

a few had water inside .. and leaking into the walls.. and it looks like its been doing it for a while..

2005 Coachmen Cascade.. 29FKCS.. with fiberglass (type) siding, not metal

how do I go about drying the inside of walls.. I see NO damage or discoloration. and nothing outside...

    what about using a (small) shop vac.. and remove all the marker light fixtures.. and pulling the air out of the walls???

    is there fiberglass insulation in the walls? there is NONE near the lights and wires for the top of the Back Wall. has the most moisture.

    Ideas...??

    That's a good question.
    Maybe try running a dehumidifier inside the unit for a week or so?
