Air conditioner leaking water inside RV

Post by LadyHghlndr on 4/28/2011, 1:39 pm

After 10-15 minutes of turning on the air conditioner, water starts leaking inside (like it's raining LoL) from the main vent over the kitchen area. The trailer is level and I'm not seeing where there would be a possible drainage for condensation could be...not that there should be that much condensation after that short of time frame. Air conditioner works great (I live in Texas)--as long as I don't mind the drainage inside...any clues?

I'd pull the cover off the roof side and clean the drip pan and check the drip pan drain if it has one.

welcome to the Forum. I agree with Earl. Also, if you can see your evaporator coils, check to see how dirty they are. Inefficient heat transfer can lead to more condensation. But still, that should drain off.
