    Is it condensation from the A/C and is it leaking inside the trailer or just dripping off the roof? If it is coming off the roof, that is normal.

    It was leaking inside onto the bed. I used main air the rest of weekend. What I hooked up camper and it wasn’t level anymore water drained out again so it was built up somewhere.

    If you referring to water dripping off the roof its normal condensation from the unit running. If it is inside it is another issue, probably a plugged vent tube.

    First thing to do is pull the filter and clean it. Then see if it leaks. It makes a big difference.

    I have read of people finding the ac unit loose at the roof. I don't remember how they fixed it but I believe they took the trim off from the inside and the bolts to tighten up were right there.

    This was our issue.

    Tightened up the bolts and never had another problem.

    The bolts should be checked at least once a year.

    Don't over-tighten though, as they just sandwich a foam gasket between the inner and outer pieces of the a/c.

    Had same issue on Keystone Fuzion before we traded out

    We had the exact same issue on a Keystone Fuzion 345 before we traded it last year. I cranked the bolts down pretty good and it seemed to have resolved it...BUT... I'm also of the opinion that this leak was what was causing pencil eraser sized areas of delam to start on the sidewalls. I'm about as OCD and diligent about maintenance as one can be so I KNOW that it was not from a roof or sealant leak.... But nonetheless, a 2 year old unit was starting to delam. We unloaded that thing like a hot potato. One year later I may have a delam issue underway on my GDRV 395M. Looks like the fixture where quick attach for the spray hose on the outside goes through the wall was leaking while it was sitting on the dealer lot for repairs. Never thought to check that one b/c it's a compression foam gasket, not silicone. AND it was good and tight, yet still leaking. Anyway, regarding your AC leak, if you're still under warranty, document it thoroughly in case you have issues later with unrelated things like sidewalls.

    The ac units have a torque spec that is important to go by. Too loose obviously would be a problem but too tight is just as much of a problem. Because of the foam gasket over tightening will cause that gasket to warp which means a leak. Do't remember off hand what that torque is but a search should find it. Or it should be in your manual.
