I was out at my 5th wheel today checking it over and notice where the front accent lights go through the front cap had no sealant if you remove the lower metal piece there is a pretty good hole for water to get into. Sealed it up and reinstalled cover.

DITTO I actually had water coming out of the bottom of overhang near the pin box and traced it back to the same as you. There is supposed to be a rubber grommet there, but mine had two of the four missing. I also found the mini-LED utility lights were not sealed.
The location of those strip lights was not well though out, there is a lot of water shedding down from the roof and it follows the channel those lights are installed in. Might as well put them in the gutter!
