leaking Dometic AC - condensation

Bedroom AC leaked water over night. Found a wet spot on bed cover beneath AC and drops of water were driping from the center of the unit. This has never happened, 5'er is one year old. Ambient temps outside were 65 deg / 100% humidity. This night is not much different than past nights. I clean the filters every 3 weeks, AC is only used daily from 6pm-5am, on low setting. Any ideas, suggestions for a fix?

    Check the drain holes in the condensate pan under the coils. You may have to remove the cover on your roof. Also if you do tighten the mounting bolts be careful not to tighten to much.

    Drop the ceiling plate for the AC in your trailer and check the hold down bolts for the AC unit and then get on your roof, remove the AC cover and check the weeping holes on the AC base plate to make sure they are not blocked and backing up the condensate water into your unit.

    Thanks....
