Default A/C coming loose!

Hi All,

Just returned from a few days at Pine Mountain Campground near Callaway Gardens, Georgia. Beautiful place to enjoy bike riding, swimming, picnicking, etc. It was, however, quite hot this time out!

Can anyone offer any advice on my A/C problem? when standing on the floor of the camper and looking up at the conrols of the A/C unit, I noticed the front left side (when looking at the controls) was loose from the ceiling of the camper. It was sagging from the ceiling by about 1/2 inch. I removed the cover containing the filters, which needed cleaning anyway, and found that there are four spring loaded screws holding the unit in place. All four were tight and appeared to be OK. However, the screw in front on the left side did not make contact with the metal plate on the unit flush with the ceiling. After trying for 30 minutes or so I finally gave up.

Is there a trick to getting the screw to attach to whatever is underneath so as to hold it tight against the ceiling? Is the a 'nut' on the other side of the plate that is missing, thus not allowing the screw to come in contact with any threads?

If anyone has any suggestions it would be g r eatly appreciated.
