Like you today,took a closer look at the openings at both ends around the steps.Decided the best thing to do is get some of that heavy gauge white sheet metal from my local alum. construction supply called White Alumimun and unbolt the steps to make access to the two areas ,make a template from paper of somekind and cut-out sheet metal to form a tighter seal to cover the openings where you see the insulation at the curve in the underbelly,fasten the tin to the plating on each end with predrilled holes for sheet metal screws or rivets,then seal-in all around with good caulk and after dry spray undercoat and reinstall steps.With this area open like that bet the rain can really gets in there traveling in the rain.I,ve decided this is my next priority project. For me this is a common weekend project I do this stuff all the time with any rv I've had, water leaks are your biggest enemy.
