- kellemExplorerYou remove the AC panel from inside trailer to access the (4) long bolts, a quarter turn on each bolt should do it.

Non use should not matter. Barney is likely correct, but word of caution...snug up the 4 bolts, rather than tighten. A little tighter is all that should be needed.

Stupid question time... is removing the ceiling panel a matter of popping it out and back in or is there a lot more to it? I want to say the cabinets and everything were installed after the ceiling panel, so I'm ttrying to work out in my head what exactly "removing the panel" would entail. - MFLNomad IINon use should not matter.

Probably just need to go inside, remove the AC ceiling cover, look up into the AC and find the 4 long bolts in the corners, and tighten them up a bit. It is quite common for the gasket that seals the AC opening to compress over time and start to leak. The cure, other than replacing the gasket which means removing the AC from the roof opening, is to tighten the bolts a bit.

Thanks, I'll see about getting down there this weekend and doing that. Anything I need to watch out for when removing the panel? Also, the a/c unit hasn't been running or anything for months. Not sure if that makes a difference in your diagnosis or not. - jaycoman89Explorer

Self leveling caulk made for RV roofs should be used for roof maintenance.
