I am about to begin troubleshooting my drip issue. I was just camping and it rained quite a bit. I feel it was more a condensate issue from the ac though. It only happened for a few hours and stopped. Line in CIncinnati are and it is humid in summers. My first stop will be the ac drains. If I find no issues there I was going to look up in the ducts. If no smoking gun there I was going to wait and see if this happens again by leaving my ac on a few days while it is parked in my backyard. If I need to go further and remove the ceiling board the fan and whisper quiet return and supply ducts are on. My question is that a pretty straight forward task or would I be finding surprises holding g the ceiling up besides along the edges and the various covers attached to the ceiling? Any insight would be appreciated.

Has nothing to do with debris from the outside. You need to pull your condensation cover and see the dirt that builds up there from inside the rig.

i did finally find the source of the dripping water from the ceiling on mine. I pulled the cover off the roof A?C unit when it was dripping, shut the power off and stuck my hand in the return air area. I could feel the water dripping in through the roof gasket. I pulled the A/C unit and found the A/C and gasket were not lined up with the holes cut in the roof. The gasket was inside the cutout in the roof allowing condensation water to enter inot the return duct and dripp through the ceiling. I had to patch in a 2x4 and replace the gasket and put it back together. It has not leaked since.
