I had a Jayco that either the AC was installed with loose bolts or the bolts worked loose and caused a major leak. I pulled the AC off and could see where the water left dirt marks on the roof running under the gasket.
After cleaning the roof around the AC, I used the Dicor roof sealant on the bottom side of an new seal, effectively sealing it to the roof. Reinstalled the AC and tightened down the bolts to spec. Then I checked those 4 hold down bolts twice a season to be sure that they didn't work loose.
The AC bolts should be checked on your camper every time that the roof is inspected, which should be at least once a year.
