Hi,
Remove the outer cover, and then look for a drain line coming out of the inside coil. The inside coil is probably full of water, and you might be hearing the water being blown around by the indoor fan. Once the outside cover is off, you probably can locate the round tubing leading from the inside coil to the outside drip pan. But you might need to remove the metal cover over the evaporator to locate the drain for the first time.
It also helps to wash the outside coil every year or so with a garden hose.
You probably already figured out that you need to snug up the 4 bolts that clamp the A/C to the inside housing about every 2 years. There is a flexible gasket between the A/C and roof surface that compresses over time. You probably still have 2-3 years left in that gasket.
I have used a small wire or coat hanger to push through the drip tubing to clean it out, some dirt is probably in there.
Good luck, and have fun camping!
