Our 95 Patriot, has developed some sort of rain leak from the front air conditioner, a DuoTherm.
Last night, it rained harder (Florida Panhandle) than I can ever remember it raining when we were in the coach. The leak started midway through this downpour. The coach was leveled, the thermostat was switched to fan/manual and there was a driving rain. A drip started which we caught immediately and captured about half a cereal bowl of water, with minimal wicking to the ceiling material. I stopped the fan, lowered the jacks a little bit on the back of the coach and the leak stopped with no other problems the rest of the night during a bad rainstorm. It rained again today with no further problem.
Is this typical in a bad rainstorm (the back A/C was ok) or should I be replacing the seal, unplugging something, tightening something?
Is it likely that some rainwater was sucked or blown into the unit somehow and then leaked inside? Or is it more likely that some weather seal failed?
Also I had resealed the roof in November, did not disassemble A/C units though.
We are at Carrabelle Beach< Florida and there is an rv repair tech with several years experience in the area we can call or a Monaco dealer in Panama City, should I contact them? I am very mechanically inclined, but limited on this trip with tools.
Thank you for any information or experiences you can provide.
Mike
