While camping in St. Andrews SP, Panama City, Fl. we encountered the Fla rains. It may or may not have been an external leak or just condensation, but DSO discovered a small drip from inside the A/C. Sopping up the tracks holding water stopped the leaking. But was it external or condensation? my thought, why not re-seal the unit. Anyone ever remove the A/C, if so how? Appears to be 4 small diameter but long bolts and wiring. How heavy? One man job? Butyl tape? Of course, I plan to super clean the unit while out, but insides look really good. Would appreciate any pros or cons.

It has been close to 40 years since I removed an AC unit but the 4 bolts is all that holds them on.
I don't recall the seal but you will need 2 people. Put 2 pieces of plywood, 4x4 will be fine, to prevent roof damage while up there.

Cheers,

Thanks for the reply. I resorted to looking through the original paperwork received with the camper (thanks Den2) and found the installation instructions. Simply remove the 3 long bolts and carefully lift straight up. Place 2 2 x 4s at each end, clean both surfaces apply the seal and re-install. These are INSTALL instructions and only says "vinyl seal" and it will compress about a 1/2". Now that's my quandary! Guess I'll have to look see and decide then about the seal to use. Maybe contact the company and get a direct replacement. I'll let you know what I find.

I seem to recall a high density black foam seal with sticky on the roof side (double sided tape).
Don't use the 1 side sticky foam used to seal a camper to pickup bed. It will leak through.

I just did a Google search and those OEM seals are avialable online and should be at your local rv store too. Note the brand and have a go at it.

Thanks again Rick, figured that's the best and the fastest method. I figured I could use butyl tape like the windows, but when the instructions said the seal should compress 1/2", I knew butyl was out. I'm sure it has to be a soft but dense material to prevent water penetration. Don't figure HD would carry anything like it. So it's off to the RV store.

Go with the proper seal, you want to do it only once.
