A/C LEAKING CONDENSATION

Has anyone had problems with one of the roof A/C units leaking condensation?

Yes I have. I took my coach to the shop and they parked it on a ramp, pulled the cover off the AC, looked at the unit, turned a garden hose on the roof and ran the AC over their lunch hour. No leaks!! Couldn't find anything wrong so they charged me $48.00 and sent me on my way. I then stopped at a Walmart store, left the AC running and the coach levelled.
When I came out there was water dripping down inside the coach. I went home and pulled the cover off myself, did about an hours worth of checking and looking until I found the styrofoam channel that the condensate runs out to the discharge tube had been punctured undeneath the condenser and was providing a path for the water down into the unit. Thinking back I remembered going very slowly under one of those bars they put in Walmart driveways to keep trucks out.
(About 11-12 feet high) I gently bumped one of those and might have done the puncture job. Whatever! Not an easy thing to diagnose but I found it and the RV service guys didn't. Give it a check and good luck.

Couple of other things you might check are:
If you keep the vent that is just below the unit closed all the time, and it's really humid, sometimes there is not enough air flow in the unit, and condensation occurs and drips down from the unit....you can open the vent a small amount to solve that one....

Other thing would be that if it's actually a leak from outside, sometimes the screws that hold the unit in place will vibrate out a bit and the foam gasket that mates between the unit and the roof top, looses it's seal...don't tighten them too much as you'll flatten the gasket and it's suppose to have about a half inch or so, as I remember...
