keep a close eye on that short piece of trim that returns back towards the cab door.
On my passenger side, I discovered that trim looked a bit loose. Turned out that that whole wall had rotted out. You couldn't tell from the skin.....
Turned out to be two problem areas up on the roof that had been leaking. The skin that forms the nose of the cab over was cut short and had almost zero surface area under the corner trim up near the top where it joins the roof
and
the roof membrane at that same corner was a bit short and also had a screw under that insert trim that wasn't sealed.
No apparent damage in the cab over or side wall that I could find. i think the water dripped down framework in that exterior non-wood wall in mine and got into the plywood in this little return wall.
I'd suggest
taking that trim off so that you can see the bottom edge of that plywood core
and
I'd suggest taking the upholstered panel that covers that wall on the inside off to have a look at the plywood. (mine was "buttons" on a pillowed vinyl covered wall). Those buttons are nothing more than covered snaps that pry right off to reveal a screw. very easy to remove for a look.
I sincerely hope you don't find what i did.
