Expanderoo.... (love your handle...)

The foam gasket for the A/C has nothing to do with the riser box it is sitting on. That gasket sits between the a/c frame and the top of the box. That is something that does require a wee bit of tightening the 4 large corner (attachment) bolts (remove the inside plastic cover to see them). It is also prudent to replace said gasket. The problem is, the A/C unit has to be lifted up, site cleaned, gasket placed and the unit repositioned and the bolts lightly snugged down.

We've had an Allegro Bus for 23 years, plus other conventional campers and such. I am a big believer in Dicor and Eternabond Tape...just me...lots of products will do a good job since we're not dealing with a rubber roof. Just ALWAYS....say NO to silicone! That stuff is the death of many RV's...plus it has to be completely removed before a quality product can be used.

Sounds like you're headed in the right direction! Good luck!
