A/C Leak ?

Before you get up there and start taking things apart, unlevel your RV to one side.....if the water runs off, all you have is an A/C unit that sits a little low on the roof. My Mobile repair sees this a lot and it does 'not' mean your roof is rotten either. He sees it with new ones right off the lot.

On a perfectly leveled RV which we all try to attain, The water will pool around the unit and come in to the inside.

I experienced this when it was raging hot running the A/C 24 7's and I was parked "for the first time" in the shade. The sun couldn't help evaporate it like it had for the past year RV'ing. Took one leveling block out from the front tire and ALL the water ran off. Thankfully the RV mobile repair did not charge me for informing me how to fix it!

Your Mobile "tech" does NOT know what he is doing and what he is talking about. I probably work on MORE AC units in 1 month, than he does all year (yes in 100 degree temps) and I have been a REAL tech for 34 years, and have NEVER had the type problem you describe unless the roof area around the AC was indeed rotting and the AC dropped down slightly inward. We sell NEW units and used and work on all brands of new and customer units motorhomes and towables. There is NO way a correctly functioning AC unit will allow condensate water to get back into the RV. If you do have a LOW area the AC sits in, just install a double gasket and that gets it up that extra inch to prevent what your "tech" stated. But, you do NOT have to lean the RV to one side or another and I can GURANTEE, IF I suggested such a thing to any of my customers, MY boss would have my head. Doug
