Water Leak?

Just got back from a trip to the Florida Keys with our 2017 26si. It rained pretty hard on our last night. While cleaning I found a water stain on the sheet under the front window. Anyone have a leak here?

Welcome HomerS737! Two things members general state to check in these situations are:
1. The weep holes in the outside bottom of the window frames, to be sure they are not plugged.
2. Make sure the sealant or silicone around the top and sides of the exterior window frame is there and not missing in any sections. This has been known to happen. I found a two inch section on the top of one of my windows frames that was missed. Good luck!

Water leak

May also look where front cap meets the rubber roof on top. On my Zinger is the metal "termination strip" secured with screws. I too had rain stain sheets, searched all the obvious places, and by trial and error and a hose on roof letting it pool slowly, that strip and screws was the culprit. You Can try Dicor self leveling caulk on each screw head and a bead either side of strip (if you have one, not familiar) or like I did I got 4"x50 eternal bond tape and ran two courses (8") less overlap entire width of TT. Then a narrow bead along entire edge each side of tape. A 2012 unit, not taking chances. Worked great. Good luck.
