In my opinion, trailer roofs are an iffy thing and need to be inspected and resealed often. Otherwise they leak. It would be helpful for you to provide trailer make and model, and your history with it, so owners of like model can reply.
NoBo 16.7 roof repair
We bought a 2016 NoBo 16.7 last summer and had a blast in it. Last fall I noticed that the ceiling on the inside was sagging by the door and I traced that back to a leak coming in through the roof rack screws. Sealed everything I could see, but over the winter it appears more water got in...

As a former flat roof consultant, roof leaks are rare. Adding a paint coating might do nothing.
It is the roof penetrations. Horizontal to verticle.
So, flashing inspections and repairs are a good plan. You need tape and good repair materials.
Not a solar fan. I hate the thought of diy roof penetrations by the dozens.

Its a Grand Lodge. You cannot figure out where this damage is coming from. Like I said, we had the entire roof sealed with the armor coating and it's still a problem. It did not fix it.For an idea how campers are constructed (and repaired) take a look at this thread:

The person doing the sealing should first inspect and repair all flashings.
Finding leaks can be hard.

Hard to tell from the photo, is that the ceiling of a slide out?
