Our first trip and when I opened the rig at camp site found some water just below the AC unit. We just had a couple days of rain some Im guessing its getting in from somewhere. I thought they water test these units before they leave the factory. We have 2 days of rain coming so looks like I will need to leave a towel on the floor till I get back

Dennis, if the unit was closed up, it could have come from the slide not the AC. Check your seals around the slides. Also check the side moulding (black trip) just above the J wrap on the slides for missing or non sealed silicone. Water will find its way down the inside of the wall, across the bottom of the slide and drop out on the floor, then pool wherever.
Also check all of your water fittings under the sink. I have not had any issues on the reflection, but previous unit was plagued with connections that were not tight enough at fixtures, also after a repair the mysterious water in the middle of the floor but only when closed, hence the way I know that issue.Joseph

The drip was coming from above as we had our ottomanan out and had a drip on it when we first got here. I tightened 2 of the screws not much and its been raining non stop for hours NO leak. Maybe when Im driving its getting in the AC unit then leaking in. Like I say right now we have had down pours NO leak, seems odd2021 Reflection 303RLS

Unless you are in a blowing rain, the water hose may actually damage some of the seals. If you found that the AC bolts were loose, that most likely was the cause. it does happen from time to time that those gaskets go bad, or when installed, they do not get them tight enough. Watch the roof for any signs of sagging. Also if you have a shakedown run appointment back at the dealer, have them note it in the file just in case something comes up later.
Our dealer already has an appointment setup for us to bring the unit back in June or July after we use it just in case it needs repair. That way we are on the schedule and do not need to wait for an opening.Joseph
