Strange leak, maybe A/C?

I have a 264BHW Featherlite trailer. There is an occasional leak at the base of the wall by the bathroom door. It happened frequently on a recent trip to south FL. This is adjacent a vanity and the outdoor shower, but I have eliminated these as the source. Back in AL, just rained hard for a day and no leak. The roof is one piece of material and everything looks well sealed. I’m thinking it must be the condensation from the A/C in the ceiling. There’s no sealant around it on the roof.

Will the roof of a travel trailer hold a 200# man? Has anyone had this kind of leak?

Thanks

The only seal for the air conditioner is the rubber gasket that you can see from inside once you remove the ceiling assembly. Air conditioners are not caulked....

Check the water valve on the toilet, they like to drip as they age. And yes the roof will support you, also check the mounting bolts on the a/c, they get loose and need to be snugged up now and then

As Grumpy and Sundancer330 said, check the mounting bolts. I checked ours (a 2015) and one of them was significantly looser than the other 3. It wasn't leaking, but I was surprised to find such a difference between the 3.

The bolts don't need to be real TIGHT, but they do need to be 'snug'.
