Camper Ceiling Leak
Question: I’m having a problem around my air conditioner – the ceiling is bubbling down. How can I repair that?
Answer: We would start by finding and fixing the source of the leak. There is a possibility that the seal under the air conditioner is too loose, too tight (overly compressed) or worn out. Adjust the seal per the manufacturer specifications. If it is still leaking, you may need to replace the seal.
Other sources of the ceiling damage could be leaks elsewhere on the roof, build up of excess condensation within the RV, a clogged line in the air conditioner itself that is causing condensation to drip down, etc.
Leaks are difficult to diagnose, but require prompt resolution. Further damage will occur if left untreated. Mold can develop which can cause health problems. If you are unable to find and fix the problem yourself, take the RV to a qualified service facility.
