Air Conditioner leaking inside...questions

[debili]

Hi all I have a 2011 Jayco Eagle RTLS my air conditionaer is leaking inside the RV. I have had it cleaned out on top twice so that is not the problem. thye RV place says well it could be the gasket and that is not covered on extended warranty so of course it will be a service call (I am not able to take it in) then cost of the gasket $40. then labor $121. per hr that is if it is the gasket...I have asked several times well where is the gasket because I do not see any gasket...

Question isn't the gasket between the cover on the top or where unit attaches to the top and the roof?

So at first it was just the AC in liv room today I discover now the AC in bedroom above bed has been leaking I believe just today as the mattress is we,t sheet, comforter.

Has anyone here ever replaced a gasket on one of these things? I was on the roof myself I am single woman on my own out here trying to do this stuff myself...I took pic of model number etc I will call the RV place again tomorrow but if this is something I could buy gasket and replace myself I would rather.... any help or insight would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance... Deb

ok after following that link which I did not see until after my first reply...it says to remove that evaporator cover which I was tempted to do each time but was afraid of shock...so I may get up there again. it has a warning on unit that even if turned off you can still be shocked...I assume unplugging the whole RV from elec would avoid this from happening...it is a bit difficult doing this with only one person as it might be helpful to have it turned on once the shroud is off and evaporator cover off to see where the water is coming out...I do not want to have it running while I take the shroud off...hum challenging!;)

oh yes and it has nothing to do with the rain

Hi all,
well I have done everything short of calling the RV place to come out. I have been on roof several times cleaned it out and think I got the drain holes cleared.
It is still leaking in the liv room but now is mostly just when I turn it off...it is just weird I have checked the bolts so I just do not know...thanks everyone for your help!

Try this link to see how to check the drain holes. Link

We had a Jayco with a A/C that leaked inside as well, it was the bolts holding it that were loose and did not compress the gasket at all. How the A/C unit stayed on the trailer going down the Hwy was a miracle.

If I missed it, sorry, but I didn't see where anyone asked when this was happening. If it's when rain is falling it's the A/C to roof gasket. If it's not it's a clogged drain hole or blockage where the condensed water vapor runs off the evaporator and out to the drain holes.

The weep holes are in the drip pan that is UNDER the EVAP Coil

EVAP COil is in a SEALED compartment Under the roof shroud
You HAVE to OPEN that sealed compartment to access the evap coil drip pan and might have to shift evap coil a bit to get to drain holes to clear them
(cut the tape..remove screws, remove cover. Seal back up after cleaning drip pan AND EVAP Coil)



Look at diagram posted
Evaporator Drain Pan, Evaporator, Room Air Fan.....UNDER the SEALED Cover

(Motor, Condenser, Condenser Blower etc UNDER the roof shroud)

Thank you I was up there but could not figure out where they were...water is running off except on side and as I said now today it isn't even leaking...this is crazy

Once you take the four screws out that hold the shroud on, remove the shroud. You will see a metal tray with rounded edges that everything is sitting in, that is where the whole should be but in all four corners.

Up on the roof, take iff the AC cover .. There should be about. 1/4” hole in all 4 corners..

Thay may be hard to find, but there are 4.

This may not be your problem, but is something easy to look at ..

Ford Truck Guy WHERE are the weep holes????
Ok I do not get it...trying to check it this morning now it is not leaking at all???

call a mobil rv tech in your area and ask if they work on your problem. either the gaskets are shot? or your drains are not working. and do it soon that water could be rotting your wood.

The secondary thing you could do is next time someone gets on this forum asking if extended warranties are worth it; tell them your story. I also fell for the extended warranty sale and luckily was able to get a refund after just a few months when I had an issue and they found a reason to deny the claim. Good luck on finding your leak.

THe a/c vibrating could loosen bolts over a long period of time.

I had leaking on one of my fiftg wheels, it turned out to be the weep hols were clogged.. each AC has 4 weep/drain holes in the corners to allow the condensation to drain onto the roof then to the ground. If they are clogged, there will be nowufor the moiuto go
