You never want to put calking between the A/C shroud and the roof riser platform. That will cause your leak to be worse. That will be the sorriest thing you ever did to your camper. You won't be able to even remove the upper shroud without removing all that calking. When you find out that your leak becomes worse, you'll have to remove all that calking. Trust me, do do not want to have to do that.

The only way to stop the water from leaking from the A/C unit into the interior is by either tightening or replacing the gasket between the bottom of the A/C unit and the roof. If that means removing the A/C unit from the roof, that's what you have to do.
