Leaks in the walls and ceiling

I just saw an Airstream with the top all dented up because a tree limb had fallen on it. When I asked the present owner about leaks he replied that he wasn't sure but did find some unexplained water in the bathtub once.

Well the wall and ceiling above the bathtub has several taped over areas that I assume are covering cracks. How could someone repair these taped over areas to prevents leaks?

That's not how you repair leaks.

Leaks are repaired or corrected on the exterior of the trailer.

More than likely, the bathroom leaks are caused by the gaskets in the exterior sewer vent pipes being bad. They only last 2 to 3 years or so.
