Small leak inside light

Hello everyone,
I have a 2004 flagstaff bunkhouse 8528 BHSS. It was storming for about 5
Hours straight then my daughter woke up to wetness from her light in her bunk leaking. The light is on the roof as she is on the top bunk. There is no wetness on the ceiling just the light. I looked on the roof and I could not find anything it could of leaked from. There is nothing directly above it. Just started rain season and I’m a full timer so this is a big issue as this is my home. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

To start with, when is the last time you checked the roof caulking?
It's a 17 year old RV so that's where I would start.

Water is going to travel to the lowest point. It's probably coming from the roof, but if there was wind blown water, it could be coming in from the side. Check all seams and see if there's a crack you might be overlooking. Seals around vents are a common entry point.

I checked the caulking before the rain season and it seems like it was recently applied probably before I fought it. It looked pretty good. I did find a small crack in the trim by the highest point so I caulkers it and it seems to be leak free. Thanks all for your responses.
