Thanks for the comment. I pushed some foam between the rail and the vertical wall in the front. I used Loctite foam for that because of the adhesion it has and its ability to compress at the center of the patch. I plan to do the gaps in the front and rear walls inside the wet bay as well. I have drips (effervescence) on the two walls which indicates that there is water intrusion at that end of the rails.


Also, I ran over the capacity of the fresh water tank while filling and discovered that the seal between the floor and the outside frame of the wet compartment was not sealed as well as it should because I found water dripping along the seam under the RV. I think I will put gorilla tape or additional sealant along the bottom seals of the compartment floor in all bays because it looks like water can penetrate in those seams. I don't know what type of sealant they used for those seams (looks like contractor's caulk, siliconized latex maybe?) so tape might be what I need to do instead of caulk.
