My first leak

[Mattman]

Okay. So trying to stay positive and tell my self small leaks are part of camping? I know most can be prevented. I guess since I have had it for just over a year i wasent looking as hard as I should have for bad caulk joints. But my wife came in and told me there was some water on the floor. Near my slide out. So I cleaned up the water. Mostly a small amount along the wall. Most of the water appears to be under my emergency window in the front. When I got the ladder out I found this on the top of the window. See photo. Failed caulk. Could this little tear be the culprit? I had some almond caulk i filled it in for now since some more rain can be looking. Will go caulk shopping. Atm I don't see any obvious signs on the wall. we did have a heavy rain this afternoon.
So my question are.
1. Was this likely leak? I will keep an eye on it.
2. What flavor caulk for the windows?
3. I am gonna run a bead around the roof as well. What flavor there?
4. I put a fan on the floor to dry any thing I couldn't get. Is that enough?

Good find on the leak.

1. Yes, this was more than likely the leak.
2. My sealant is clear and this is what I use: Amazon Link
3. For the side and front/rear caps I overlapped with Eterna Bond Tape and then used a bead of Dicor sealant on either side of the tape on the front/rear cap tape.
4. The fan will help a lot, but good hot weather will be best.
