Rv roof mount air unit leaks int coach.
Your roof ac unit is mounted with a gasket between the unit an the roof typically with 4 spring loaded fasteners that should be checked for specific torque or tightness every year.
It is quite common to find the roof area around the air conditioner sunken or sagging especially on those rvs with soft roof construction.
What happens is water can start to collect.
Some people will actually leave the rig slightly higher to the passenger side so the water runs to the other side.
Check to make sure your model does not have a condensation hose that may be plugged.
Next inside the rv install the bolts that will hold the ceiling part of the air conditioner in place.
Also you need to check the torque of the fastening bolts.
Look for screws or other hardware the hold the outer shroud cover on your a c unit.
As mentioned above the drain pan has a small hole in it allowing the water to drip out.
There are no drain lines for the ac unit on the roof of the rv.
Sometimes the drain pan gets clogged with dirt leaves and other debris prohibiting the water from draining through the small hole in the pan and onto the roof.

If the leak is both while raining and while running and the gasket is still thick enough and tight odds are there is some roof deterioration underneath the air conditioner as long as the roof isn t sagging causing water to puddle up around the air conditioner which can be checked by pulling a string across the roof from side to side.
To check for this situation again disconnect yourself from power and carefully ascend to the roof.
Each rv roof top air conditioner has a gasket underneath between the ac unit and the roof and these can sometimes develop leaks even on fairly new rv s.
This can be a result of debris or dirty on evaporator coils or due to blocking of the drain holes due to dirt or due to purposely done sealing.
