Dripping into your rv? No...not normal and not good. Tighten up the 4 bolts inside of the ceiling grill and see if it helps. You may need a new AC foam sealing gasket. You can check your roof AC, while disconnected from electricity, by removing the shroud and making sure the drain pan holes are not clogged. It's supposed to drain condensation onto the roof.

I thought he meant there was a droop or sag around his A/C unit.
Either way, I'd say something isn't quite right.

I did mean a sag, i think the air was installed with out some sort of support or frame and maybe the foam was crushed, i think i might remove the ac and make a frame and replace the foam seal.

I'm having a/c installed on my PUP next Tuesday, I'll post some photos of whatever they have to do to support it. Maybe it will give you some idea of what your next move should be.

Well, I got my A/C installed. But as it turns out my Utah was already prepped for an A/C unit, so no additional bracing was needed. I was hoping that would be the case, saved me about $100.
My ceiling (before the install) had 4 pins that marked where the braces were and I had a 20amp outlet that was separate from all the other outlets (it was reserved for the a/c).
So, I could take a picture for you, but all you would see is an a/c unit sticking through the ceiling.
Go HERE for the installation instructions for the Coleman Mach III 8000 series A/C. It might not be the one you've got, but I think it does have some information about the bracing that should be installed. It might be helpful to you.
I should also say that it (Coleman Mach III) is a great unit. It knocks the temp down in a hurry. Can't wait to take it out this weekend and use it! Once I get some Pop Up Gizmos I'll be all set.
