So, I’ve got all the cabinetry out of the trailer and will be moving on to removing the interior sheathing and insulation to start chasing down leaks. Just removing all of the interior has pointed me into about 4 or 5 locations that I didn’t have any idea there were leaks.

While many have chosen to remove all of the inside skins to track down all of the leaks, I think you'll save a lot of time by painting the roof with some elastomaric paint, after you've applied vulkem around all your vents (including plumbing, gasket replacement if necessary). I found that 97% of my leaks disappeared after I did that. (Your windows can cause problems as well.)

(Be sure to apply a good aluminum primer before applying the KoolSeal.)

Removing all of the inside skin just seems like the long way to go about it.

Removing all the other stuff is wise, as the rear floor thing (especially with the rear bath) pretty much requires it.
