Hello,
My bedroom air conditioner drips inside the camper even with the door closed and no moist air getting in only the bedroom air conditioner does it the main living area air conditioner does not the drains outside seem clear as water drips from the roof. Does anybody have any idea why this might be happening?

Thanks in advance
 
Two things to check - First make sure the 4 mounting bolts that hold the unit to the roof are snug. Not tight but snug (Appx 40 - 50 Inch Pounds Max). Second check that the condensate drain isn't blocked even partially. Even through some water is draining off the roof, there still could be a partial blockage diverting some of the water into the camper.
 
Most common issue is the foam gasket between the roof and AC. Pull the inside cover, look to see if you can tell where the water is coming from. If it looks as if it is passing by the foam gasket between, consider snugging up the 4 corner bolts. You do not want the bolts tight, just snug. If the seal has been snugged up tight, time to replace the gasket.
 
Is it possible that you have not cleaned the coils? If they get dirty enough, the AC can freeze. If it thaws, the water could drip into the coach. Does it drip when running or when it is off? If when off, you can take the cover off inside and look up at the coil to see if dirty.
