Leaking roof a/c into rv

My 2008 30' Holiday Rambler Augusta w3 slides is leaking water inside rv. Some around the a/c it self and some in walls of cabinet. I just lost my microwave three weeks ago and think maybe because of this water leakage. The a/c is Carrier which I found no longer in business. Can this be corrected by me from inside rv or will this have to be fixed from the roof.
Thanks

A leaking A/C rooftop unit is a sign of a bad gasket. It's replaced by lifting the A/C unit up out of the roof hole, remove old gasket and install the new one, then replacing the A/C in the hole. A job best done by two people. The gasket is most likely a standard size, not custom to the Carrier brand.

My 2001 HR Scepter had a leaking roof. Water was pouring in from the bedroom AC and making it's way to the wall cabinets. My RV had always been garaged before I bought it but I do not have indoor storage and last summer's brutal heat may have contributed to the leak. I went up on the roof and it looked brand new.

I took it to a local repair shop and asked them to check the front AC as well. Both units had to be removed and the gaskets replaced. I believe it was around $600 for the repairs.

Your condensate drain holes may be plugged and the drain pan filling with water. You need to remove the AC shroud, and make sure the pan is draining correctly.

Check and clean or replace your air filter. If it is clogged, it creates a vacuum between the filter and the fan, preventing water from flowing out. The water drips inside instead.

Ours leaked when we were in Colorado and as a temporary measure took the bottom cover off and tightened the hold down screws a couple of turns until we got back home to check if it needed a new gasket...

Stopped the leak and haven't had to do anything else
