Air conditioner drip
Yahoo Message Number: 153480
So aside from the missing lug covers resulting in a flat tire on our maiden voyage, we also had a steady drip inside from the AC unit.  This AC is just a few years old. I've searched and searched, coming up with dirty filters, plugged drain holes, broken gasket and bolts that may need tightening.
I got on the roof in the Ga heat this morning to check everything.  Got the cover off to check the drain holes.  They look fine.  From what I can see the gasket appears good. I cleaned the filters yesterday.  But I just couldn't find the bolts to tighten. I searched and searched. Do I need to disassemble something to find these bolts??

Thanks, Tanya 2001 MB in GA

"I just couldn't find the [air conditioner] bolts to tighten."

Tanya, those bolts are on the inside of the coach. If you pull off the air conditioner cover on the ceiling, you'll see them. They loosen up with age (or more accurately, the ceiling compresses with age), and are the most common cause of interior drips while the air conditioner is running.
