Furnace issues

I have had living room furnace issues, always after a good rain or rv washing. Furnace will click every 2 seconds. I investigated and discovered water dripping on heater circuit board. I left the cover off (hot that day) and retried before dark, still had the same issue. I used the wifes hair drier to dry the circuit board and had no issues until we experienced heavy rain yesterday. I performed the same steps with the hair drier and folded a plastic freezer bag and gently installed over the board to divert the expected water as rain was forcasted (and received). I checked online when the problem first appeared and Atwood apparently provides a relocation kit to dealers, not customers. We are snowbirds in Arizona and I did not want to bring rv to dealer. Furnace functions properly with my fix although I do not suggest doing this as the relocation kit is the safe and proper way to fix an issue that you really should not have in the first place! Seals and everything else appear ok, I will investigate where the water is coming from when it stops raining. Bedroom furnace has no issues. We are living in our 2016 Thor Tuscany 36mq XTE. If anyone knows where to purchase an Atwood furnace circuit board relocation kit, please advise?
