You have your hands full.
Water can seep in from 1000 places on a camper. i think the first step is determining the highest point where there are leaks. Unfortunately water can work it's way down through an indirect route, but it obviously can't go up.
If you don't have a dry place to work it will be difficult to take the camper apart to seal it properly. Goopy sealers are not a long term solution and ultimately create more work removing later.
On campers I've restored, I remove all the railing, windows and trim and reseal with putty. A roof is a different set of challenges because if it has pin sized holes it can't be saved. Vents can be removed and sealed.
Sorry I can't offer easier suggestions. Maybe somebody else will chime in.

Almost all leaks begin at the roof or edge trim (J rail, awning rail). It might help to remove it and re-putty. The water runs down inside the wall, so a "leaking" window if often from above.
