Typically when an RV AC unit is dripping water it's because of a clogged drain tube that's preventing the condensation from being able to run off and drain. Instead it's forcing the water to drip in your interior.

It's an easy fix (clean out the debris accumulated). You can tell if this is the problem by looking to see if it is draining down over the roof now.

The water is dripping over the edge. When I shut the ac off it pours into the motorhome. Even worse when raining. Doesn’t leak when just raining. Only when ac is running.

Since it drains correctly when running and doesn't leak when not running, yet has water seeping after AC is turned off, it sounds like the condenser on the unit is going bad or has a leak. I recommend having the unit serviced or replacing it completely. I've linked the page to all the AC unit options we carry which all fit in the same size hole in the roof.

@JasonS I lhave the same problem and the drains are open on the roof unit just leaking inside trailer. I have never had this problem on a coleman unit I've had for years. This on a 2019 motorhome. It's like the pan or whatever the water builds up in is leaking.

Did you get a lot of superman jokes growing up? I am inclined to believe that you have a clog somewhere. That is 99% of the reason you get leaks like this. It could be a clog in a tube somewhere, I have seen everything from dead bugs and wasp nests to clear plastic that had to be blown out with an air compressor. There may be some oddball chance that something got bent or is out of level too but I don't see that very often.
