Water Leak 13' Laredo 303TG

I have a 2013 Keystone Laredo 303TG travel trailer. I have a 50 amp electric cord with a female end that connects to the exterior of the camper. When this is plugged in I am having water leak into the inside of the camper wall. Water is coming in at the bottom of the outlet (as seen from inside) onto the interior wall and running down to the floor. Has anyone else had this issue? Can anyone lend any advice on how to fix this? Again, rain water only comes in when the cord is plugged into the camper. When it is not attached it isn't leaking. I have inspected the connection while plugged in and can't tell where water is getting in. Any help is appreciated!

Have you checked to see that the outside receptacle box is not separating from the side of the trailer (from weight of cord) just enough to allow water to weep through the rubber gasket?
During my pdi I had dealer put in better screws as my receptacle was not properly secured to the trailer (from factory)
Just a thought.

Yes, I actually caulked around it with silicone prior to troubleshooting the issue with my water hose. I also snugged the screws. To the naked eye the rubber gasket in between the receptacle box and camper shell seems legit. Somehow its happening when lid is up with the cord plugged in. When I unplug the cord it is dry inside as well. I'm under warranty and will explain to the dealer. I was just hoping to resolve the issue myself because we have camping trips planned.

I suppose if it was me, I knew the receptacle was leaking and didn't want to bring it to dealer to fix, I would remove the receptacle myself and examine the hole for water damage and source of leak. You have to be careful though because if you unsuccessfully fix it, warranty could be void.
Good luck. Steve
