A friend of mine removed the decorative façade/panel at the head of the bed which gave him access to the front cap of the RV. It wasn't complicated - just removed several screws holding the decorative wood panel in place.

He found that the insulation in the front cap of the 5th wheel, had fallen down to the bottom leaving a large, uninsulated section. Previously, he had noticed a draft coming from the front and headboard area of the nose cap. The two cupboards/clothes closets on each side of the bed were also unusually cold.

After adding more insulation and ensuring that it wouldn't fall to the bottom, the cold draft seemed to disappear.
