Consider installing deflectors that are roof-mounted over the crank-up roof vents. The covers will allow you to leave the vent hood open when driving. No rain can come into the coach through the open vent hood since the cover protects it.

If you do not have a roof-mounted cover that fits over vent hoods, close ceiling vent hoods when driving.
