help with AC

My bedroom AC causes the the ceiling to become wet and drip . It is condensation forming on the ceiling panels. it is not water vapor coming from the vent. It only happens when it has been on for a long time. If anyone has experienced this, What is the remedy? Thanks in advance The camper is a 2018 Montana 3791RD

There is an air leak - needing to go on the roof and pull the cover on the AC - take a philips screwdriver, utility knife and aluminum foil furnace tape. you should find two aides of air. start taping joints and separations. OH PLEASE make sure the power is OFF !!!

In the files section is a TSB regarding Dometic AC unit drip pan leak. The drain holes were not punched out.

Also, look in the return vent. Make sure it is sealed up properly. If not it is pulling hot moist attic air in from outside causing more condensation.
Picture 1 hole big enough for three fingers to go through.
Picture 2 all taped up. No more outside air leaks.
