water leak around ac unit
My 5'er is about 1.5 years old, and on the trip to Yellowstone, when we left a campground in NC Mtns, the front Ac unit started leaking water when it rained. It rained hard several days before leaving the campground, and no leaks.
I tool it to Camping world and they tightened the 4 bolts on the unit and it quit. It rained several times on the 9000 mile trip and no leaks.
I returned back through the NC Mtns on the way home, stayed at the same CG, where it rained before we left with no leaks. When I pulled into the next campground after leaving, it was raining, and the unit was leaking again.
The NC Mtn CG had several steep and sharp turns, so i am wondering if that could cause the unit to shift and the seal to start leaking.
I have not tried to tighten the bolts again, but now that I am home in Fl, looking for suggestions on how to properly fix the leak. Should I losses all four bolts and then retighten, or just take it to a service shop and let them replace the seal?
Thanks in advance.
