Weird Water Problems KZ Frontier 2505

Purchased a 2006 KZ Frontier 2505 TT about 3 seasons ago. Noticed some water issues on the roof and had entire roof replaced under an insurance claim in year 2. Since that time have been pretty dry from what I could tell until about 3 weeks ago. I saw some delamination occuring on passenger side near the door to the TT so took it in to see if they could recaulk entire TT. Shortly after this was done we went camping and on way out it rained very hard on drive for about 2 hrs. Upon arrival had water in the kitchen table area soaking our couch cushions but couldn't see any visible water from any sky vents, water on wall etc. We do have our windows caulked on bottoms and wondered if that was the source of leak. Also have water in our pull out queen bunk in the rear right corner (never had a leak before or since in that corner?). After that trip I poured water onto the roof with a hose for 1 hr soaking every inch of that camper to not have any water in those areas reappear to be an issue.

Fast forward 2 weeks later and had same water issues again when pulling TT in rain but this time no rain in queen bed pull out and before we pulled out that bed area we ensured it was bone dry on hard roof inside of the camper and no water coming in from the sky light near the couch area. But once again it was all wet with no main source of water dripping down the walls or any ceiling areas from our inspection. Add now a new water leak in the front bunk house in the lower bunk on driver side with no real source of water being shown on walls or that sky light. Later this trip we got dumped on in the rain while camping at our site with no additional water into the TT in either area. So it much be only occurring when it's being pulled in rain right?

Nope, had it sitting in yard last night and no water in couch area at all after a huge rain storm but went into our bunk house area and again the bottom bunk was soaked all the way through. No water on top bunk or other side of camper whatsoever. I mean what the heck? Not a lot of dealers I trust in my area for service but I know I need this to get fixed asap and don't have a clue where to begin because it seem rather random and my own water test at home won't show a leak from the last time. Anyone have ideas. I posted a youtube video***Link Removed*** of the bunk house so you could kind of get a feel for where it is leaking.

Should I caulk all around my windows, even the bottoms? We do have 2 slits in the window frame for drainage but noticed when dealer caulked the windows again their was only on sides rounded down slight towards the bottom so not sure if I should start with resealing that area?

Just a thought, but another place to examine would be the clearance/marker lights. Pop off one of the covers and check for any moisture. Best of luck.
Times fun when you're having flies!

Getting a Sealtech leak test is by far the best way to locate those hard to find leaks....

I'd start with a pressurized leak test. Sealtech is a franchise that does them.
