I had a horrendous leak Saturday morning, while the unit was running and it had rained. Water was actually pouring out of the ADB, onto the bed and floor! Shut the unit off, and the pouring eased to a trickle, then stopped. Soaked the headliner of a brand new truck, and so on.
Unit is a 3 month old Dometic Penguin. Roof was a new installation, and there is a piece of 1/8" aluminum up top to strengthen the roof, as well as some 3/4" plywood underneath, between the headliner and ADB.
There was drops of water on top of the unit inside, above rooftop level. Both in front and behind the squirrel fan. Some fotos here:

The metal drip(?) tray, than can be felt from the inside with the ADB removed, has standing water in it at the front corner today too.
Any ideas please? It is on a brand new Western Star semi truck, and a soaked headliner wont be under warranty....lol
