Default Leakage from rain?

There are two more blanks for responses, if I left out something let me know and I will add it - if that is allowed.

At the roof mounted vents and air conditioner.
All of the above.

Hi!

We only had leakage under the door when we had some wicked sideways rain in downpours that lasted for hours. This happened in 2001 and we haven't had any leaks since.

Mine leaked in HEAVY rain around the AC. Just a few drops, so I don't sweat it.

We have a new (2003) 2720SL. We have used it only twice. It leaks a few drops at the roof A/C unit when it rains. The water comes in at the right front corner near the temperature knob. I tried to remove the plastic panel on the inside to check things out but could not remove the fourth screw. I didn't want to break it off since it seemed solidly rusted in. So, I checked on the roof to try to see where it might be coming from. The black padding like material at the base of the unit seemed to be saturated with water and I suspect that as the source. Does anyone out there have an idea of how to fix it?

We had leaking at the air conditioner shortly after we bought the 2720SL new. We decided NOT to take the TM on our scheduled trip because of the danger of leaking with the unit down. We put a large pan on the floor to catch the water. We called the factory and got authorization to take it to a local RV dealer (not TM) for warranty work. That fixed, we then had a leak at the vent, the one in front of the A/C. We got that fixed in the same way.

We did finally get to take the TM on a weekend trip, without any leakage. In fact, it rained VERY hard on this trip and there was no leaking.

Yes----Between the AC and the first vent, but only in a very heavy down pour.

In a real downpour my 2002 2720SL leaked at two windows. I checked the slot for blockage, but found none. I would like to hear of what else to do to stop the leaking. One window is the one right at the end of the bed.

Thanks,
Rudy
