What is it?

We went and looked at a 2009 American Eagle. In the bedroom ceiling, roughly between the ceiling fan and the salon doorway, there was a square approximately 12”. It seemed to be a fogged lexan surrounded by trim. I dont think it was a light, what is it? The trim around the edge appeared to have been wet, and the finish had peeled. Nothing else around it appeared to have been wet. Is there something above it t hat would lead to a leak?

On the same bus, to the left of the drivers seat, there is a shelf, the foward part is Switches and controls. The back edge of the shelf appeared to have been wet (finish peeling) like the ceiling piece in the bedroom. It appears to have come in around the drivers sliding window. Moving to the outside, it looks as someone has tried to inject something under the edge of the seal to stop the leak. I couldnt really tell what they used. IF the leak hasnt been remedied, would the correct method be to remove the window and replace the seal material?

There were no other placesI saw any other indications of leaks. Outside of those two areas, the rest of the bus was in immaculate condition.

Look on roof might be a fan hole or a ac hole where something was removed.

Sounds like the return air vent for the A/C. It can drip condensation or if the drain is clogged dump water from that spot. I don't know the cause in front. Perhaps the seal above the window failed?

It sounds like the bedroom roof vent.
