3820fk front cap water

First off thank you to everyone who commented on our last issue, vent on stairs! We are still trying to navigate this site and really appreciate everyone.
Now we have discovered water, which amounted to ice in the front cap of our 3820fk. Looking on the roof there are no apparent leaks. At first we imagined it was condensation but after sitting there and feeling drops fall on my husbands arm while he was working we realized we have a different issue.
Any suggestions again are appreciated.

Please be a bit more specific ... inside ... outside? Dripping off cap itself or the screw cover that goes over the cap to side/roof join area?

I put 3 red dots on the floor plan below along the front cap.
Where are you seeing the drip/ice?
1. At the top red dot (roadside corner of the cap)?
2. At the middle dot (along the front window) If it is from the front window, is it on one particular side? Or is it all along the top of the window? Describe what you are seeing.
3. At the red dot at the bottom (curbside corner of the cap)?

Good morning, it is inside around the cap opening molding on the passenger side red dot area and the water puddles inside at the v of the cap. Thanks for any help

That would be a window gasket leak. I have not experienced that in my rig, but I think there has been some past discussions on the subject. Try this one...

Hopefully others will know more than me.

All I can say is, what ever yahoo decided a window would be a good idea in the front of a camper going down the road at 50-70 mph should be fired. Did they not pay attention to the class-C,s with rot around there front facing windows.
