I've had gaps there since I bought the coach. I spoke to Keith R about it, and he told me not to be overly concerned about it. He did some resealing, but I see that its pulled away again leaving a few gaps along the edge between metal and fiberglass. Definitely going to need something more robust and airtight like you are doing to keep it sealed and watertight.
But now I'm thinking its a bit of a catch 22. When I had my fresh water tank overflow issue the other day, I'm pretty sure the was majority of the water that seeped in, ran out of the bulkhead via those gaps. Had it been sealed up watertight, I'm probably be looking at the beams sitting in 1/2 to 3/4 inch of water an much further forward in the bulkhead. I think I dodged a bullet because of those gaps. On the other hand, I can see where water being thrown up from the road driving could be an issue, particularly from salted roads.
I still want to seal up up the way you are, but think I'm going to make rerouting the fresh water overflow to vent from the bottom a prerequisite.
