Leaking light dripping water

2015 Monaco Dynasty. We have a light above the TV that is dripping water. Its on the passenger side. I suspect it might be water from the middle AC. Anyone know where the drains are or where to start looking?
Thanks

The drains are located in the AC frame on the roof. My Dynasty is a 2000 and I blew air thru the tubes which fixed it. I also got quite a bit of water leaking from the 2nd overhead light back from the entry that I attributed to condensation... happened only once, I mopped up the water in the overhead and have not seen any since.

First thing to try is check how tight the 4 bolts are the hold the AC units down to the roof. They should be about 5 ft-inches tight. This will snug the AC unit down to the roof and if that's the problem the leak should stop.



Next, look up into the AC filter location. Remove the filter and look on either side, there should be clear plastic hoses attached to a Tee. The AC units have drip pans mounted underneath on either side of the AC. The condensation drains into the drip pans and through the plastic tubing to the ground. If installed right, even if these plug the condensation should drain to the outside.

Pull the hoses off the plastic Tee and use compressed air to blow out the hoses.





I had been having a problem with my rear AC unit occasionally leaking, tighten the 4 bolts solved the problem for a little while. Then the front started to leak so I decide to replace the roof gaskets. In both cases the gaskets were not lined up correctly and in heavy downpours there was a chance water could come over the top of the first gasket. I installed 2 new gaskets and drip pans on both units. The drip pans were still usable but very brittle so I went ahead and put new on.
Here's a post I did on it showing the problem.

A 2015 Dynasty was made by the REV Group and is only a Dynasty in its name. Monaco made Dynasty have drains for the water coming out on driver’s side under the caps...front and rear.

If you have any type of roof opening or seam make sure the sealant is in good condition and not cracked or missing.

I had a leak near my bathroom vent and the sealant had cracked, I simply applied a thin layer over the top of the existing sealant. At some point I will have to redo all the seams.

If drain hoses are gunked up a shop vac works well also.
