I don't understand why you have to "tip it over". After removing the shroud, you remove the ceiling unit (inside the camper). Then you unscrew the four hold-down bolts (again, from inside the camper).
After that, you lift the unit out and set it aside on the roof (maybe put down a piece of plywood or even cardboard so it won't gouge your roof).
Once the AC unit is out of the way, you can perfect your seal. (Remove the old seal and replace with new material.)
Note that your leak may simple be a result of one of those four hold-down bolts having backed itself off a little. But I think you said it was a 2005 installation so the seal probably is getting a little punky.
