Help! Front bed on canvas leaked

We just opened our X23B and I noticed a small puddle of water.
Before closing for the winter, I had sealed the roof seams and the gutter that is over the top of the front bed. I used the proper sealant as supplied from my RV dealer. There is no water damage to the inside ceiling. The rubber seal around the bed looks to be in good condition.
My latest plan is to just spray it with a hose and see if I can find the leak.
Any one else have a issue like this?
The camper is a 2012 Jayco featherlite X23B.

I just had my bunk seals replaced on a 2011 23j. Mine looked good also but I had water in the bunk when I opened it as well. The dealer recommended the replacement.

Are you sure you did not a piece of the skirt caught in the seal when you closed it up? I have done 3 times. Twice I had a bit of water sitting on the canvas when I opened it up. 3rd time I saw the skirt for a 2nd floor window from in the house.

We are heading not out Memorial Day weekend and will be checking on it .
It could have been the skirt caught in the gasket.
When I left the camper at my RV dealer for storage, I talked to my service guy there and he seemed to think it could need the seal replaced also.
We will see what happens after this next trip.

Do you treat the seals with a protectant like 303 . We did on our old hybrid that we had for 10 years and the seals looked and worked like new when we traded it. Same for our X20E. I just treated them this past weekend and they look great.

We bought this from a private owner, so I don’t know if they put a protective spray on the seal.
But, I will look for some and if I do replace the seal, I certainly will be spraying it.
