Air Conditioner Is Leaking Inside

Perrins3 · 06-22-2017, 07:38 PM

We have a 2015 154 BH with a wall unit a/c. During our last trip we noticed a small drip coming from under the emergency window (dead center) inside trailer while running air. No rain that weekend and no water inside window seal.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues with a window a/c unit leaking inside trailer? Any help/advice would be much appreciated.

Possible that the trailer was not level and the condensation could not drain properly?

Nismo Griff we made sure we were level. This happened last year in July and dealer said drain pan had shifted. Worked great since then...until the last trip! Dealer worked on it last week and caused the pan, but still leaking...

I would try to make the a/c side of the trailer a bit lower so the pan will drain outside. It may be the whole a/c unit is not level when the trailer is, it probably moves somewhat when trailering since its stuck in the wall.

Good thought and we did try that but it continued to leak. We are concerned with operating the refrigerator out of level so werent too sure how much lowered was safe. Although the dealer (Camping World) even suggested that. They are caulking it up to condensation but there has to be a solution since it has operated correctly in the past.

You probably have but make sure the drain hole/tube is clear. I've have many times had a window unit drain clog up and the tray fills to the point that the fan blades start slapping in the water. Please do not assume that the dealer did this. Even if they told you they did, I would verify it myself.

NismoGriff, great advice. I am confident that CW did the minimum last week and that is why it is still leaking. It is also leaking from the screw head UNDER the weep hole outside on far right side which tells me the weep holes on that side are clogged. Today I will ask them to drill a couple new drain holes in corner of pan, and maybe a drain kit. Not sure this unit has a drain tube.

I have the same problem on my trailer, I re did the silicone around the window at the top of the window and took to zip lock bag and cut them and stuffed them under the siding to keep water away from the window. Seems to be working so far. my thinking on why this is happening because there's not enough silicone at the top of the window and there's so much water that's hitting the top of the window and really no where to go. but so far my deal seems to be working knock on wood

Hi Larry, we camped over the weekend and we were leak free! Camping World re-sealed the unit and the caulking around the drain pan and te-sealed around the window and all is good...finally!!
