Condensation or Water LEAK?!?!

[Jb35sport]

Quick question for the group. I have a 2018 Jayco 26BH and the microwave is mounted directly over our stove/oven.

When I turned on the exhaust fan for the stove, numerous water droplets got blown out and dripped onto the stove. As I looked up in that cavity area, I noticed a decent amount of condensation buildup and due to the design, I can't really get behind the microwave to determine if it's a LEAK or CONDENSATION buildup. There isn't water anywhere else around the area.

I'm in Sarasota, Fl. this weekend and it has been 90% humidity the entire visit, with spitting rain on/off throughout today and rained pretty hard last night. I've had the AC on all weekend removing moisture from the trailer as best as it can.......

I'm just paranoid for water leaks.....the trailer stays covered when at home and it's relatively new so I would like to think the roof is still in great shape.

Could it be that the exhaust is ported to the outside and it's just allowing condensation to build up on the metal cavity, (plenum of sorts) above the stove because it's obviously open in some way OR would you suspect a leak that may need some immediate attention?

Really appreciate anyone's insight and ideas.

Thanks in advance and hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

Both are possibilities.

Just thinking out load here........

* I assume that the outside vent flap is opening w/fan on.
* Check caulking around the outside exhaust fan vent frame.
* Is outside vent flap stuck open?
* Check outer wall for possible moisture intrusion.
* Are you experiencing any moisture around the ceiling A/C cover?
* It's possible the A/C isn't winning the TT's interior humidity condition due to outside conditions (rain and high humidity).
