You need to tighten the four long bolts so that you depress the 14IN by 14in gasket between 1/8inch to 1/4inch. These four long bolts are the only thing that holds down the top unit sandwiched to the bottom unit.

Probably the gasket is losing its firmness and needs replaced. I did work my four bolts lose when I was traveling between TN and AL going down a very bumpy I59 however. The bolts were so loose I could see my top unit a/c unit moving around...
This gasket and freezing up of the top unit evaporator are about the only two things that cause drips inside the trailer.
