Leak inside from ceiling, 2011 Monaco Knight

I purchased my 2011 Monaco Knight in January of this year, love it. But 2 out of the 4 times I've been out lately the MH leaked inside from the ceiling over driver's area. Both of those times the MH was not completely level due to bad camp sites. The rear of the coach was lower than front, not terribly bad but not level.

When I left the campground on both occasions the water, about a small cup full, poured from above.

It seems that the 3 air conditioners have drain tubes because they don't drain off the top and down the side. Maybe a drain is stopped up, causing problems when not level.

Ha anyone ever experienced this? Help appreciated.

Also check the HVAC roof unit for condensate that normally occurs and is to be evaporated or drip from the condensate pan. That pan sometimes overflows due to slope and plugged drip holes that build up with dirt and leaves. When it drips due to said condition, the overflow gets into the inside of the HVAC unit and flows into the roof ducts and comes out what ever place is closest and lowest. Under the roof HVAC is a gasket that may also be not snug or completely flattened due to age or over tightening which is done from inside four corner snugging bolts. If that's the case, new gasket(s) may be needed, which are done by removing HVAC unit and wires and removing old gasket(s) and placing new gasket(s)a job done by experienced installers. At the point of removal the inside roof area can be seen and any additional repairs done if leaks have allowed mold or subroof to be damaged.

On my Monaco coach I had a condensate problem due to shifting fiberglass insulation in the front cap behind the cabinets. This only happened in cool/cold weather, not during the hotter months. I used spray foam to fix the problem after I removed an upper cabinet.
There is also a possibility that your clearance lights are leaking, if the leak happens when it is raining.
