I did talk to the company that makes the tail lights. I suggested they might try a rubber such as neoprene rather than the foam they use for the gasket. One of the managers told me it's most likely due to the coach not having a flat area that is causing the problem.
I disagree with that. While an uneven surface on the coach could be a contributing factor, I think it's a combination of a poor design of the tail light, coupled with the wrong gasket material that is the culprit.
They then told me to silicone the back-side of the gasket to the RV (but not to th front side that attaches to the light), so that it makes a seal to the coach... but then I think you would end up with a leaky gasket that is hard to remove.
Given that these tail lights are used on at least 4 different brands of RVs, and on many different models, I can't believe this is not potentially a huge issue.
I'll bet there are a lot more coaches out there with leaking tail lights but the owners are not (yet) aware of it.
Just seems to me another example of the lack of quality that plagues the entire RV industry.
