I've been battling a water leak on the driver's floorboard (same as some others) and was on the roof today resealing the seems. It just so happened that I was reading my manual the other night regarding ride height when I came across a section that said you should tighten the four bolts on your A/C twice a year to prevent leaks.
I've never thought about it or tightened them until today. I was surprised to see that the front unit was only finger tight. I tightened all four bolts (3/8") until I could feel the foam seal squish down.
The rear was almost as loose.
This wasn't the cause of my water leak, but I thought it might be of interest to others.

Don,
We had that same problem with the rear A/C on our Pace Arrow, but after I added some Permatex Threadlocker Blue to the bolts the problem went away.

Actually its done from inside. Remove the cover and you will find the four bolts holding it to the roof. They bolt through and compress a gasket on top of the roof. Basically just pulls two parts together and causes compression fit..Don't tighten too much as the tightening can be done about 4 times before the gasket needs to be replaced.
Good job guys (gals?)! I was reading this aloud and you got Rick up and out of his swivel/rocker/recliner and he's pulled the vents off, cleaning the filters, and I know he's going to check the bolts.
I better remind him that he was going to check the central vacuum system also...
