hi guys looking for some advice

The skylight in my caravan bathroom is leaking

there is no water coming right through but just noticed the roof of the bathroom is all soft

its the skylight with the two handles inside that you push up

I am going to silicon seal it all from the outside, as in seal it closed so it cant be opened till i can get a new one

what should i do about the soft roof?

You'll need a fair bit of silicon then. These are designed to permanently vent and can't be sealed, but your leak (if it is the rooflight) is more likely to be a breakdown in the existing seal and won't warrant a complete replacement of the fitting.
See Jeff's link, these are a straightforward job to remove, clean-up and reseal/refit.

As for the roof, you can't comment until you've seen the full extent of the ingress and this will be better seen when the rooflight's removed.
