Hello All! It's been a couple hours and no go. The service department said to check for blocked drain holes on top of the pod, looked brand new, no water under cover at all. The top cover was cracked from over tightening at the factory. Service manager said probably bad unit & he can't get me in until middle of July! Only our 3rd. time out.

Yes Sir! I even took them out because that is where all the water is coming from. I took the cover of the inside & out side & I'm running it...waiting to see where it starts. This is 3rd time out & 2nd time using the air!
I always say, baby steps! Wait & see!

Have you physically removed cover and looked at drain? I know mine starts to flow after several minutes of running. Long shot, but it has to expel water. Not hard to remove cover. Cracked cover will not effect.

Sorry reread your post and think you have removed cover. When you came back was it blowing cold or just leaking and not blowing cold?

I again what to thank all who always try to help. This site is awesome! A friendly neighbor camping next to us came over. I always try to slowly think things over. He comes into the pod,looks up at the unit,cover off, and pointed to 1 of the bolts that holds the unit to the roof. 1/4 from being tight, it & 1 other also but not as much. Snugged all 3 & so far.....Nice & cool....& Dry!
