dripping AC
Hello Folks,
We recently made a run from DFW to Temple, TX (2-3 hrs) in 90 degree heat. We ran the generator and the main AC along the way so the rig wasn't steaming hot when we arrived. When I opened the coach on our arrival, there was a large area on the island counter top directly under the main AC of water. I watched for a moment and noticed the AC unit was dripping inside the rig. Luckily the drip location is directly over the kitchen sink (woohoo!) so we can remove the covers and let it drip if need be when we are going down the road. Once I hooked up the rig and leveled her, fired up the shore power and magically, the dripping stopped. The condensation then began to run outside down the gutter (like it is supposed to).
Any ideas as to why this might happen? I'll clean the filters, etc. but was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
Of course it is Texas in the summer, so humidity and heat abounds. I bet the elements are the likely culprit.
What do you guys think?
Thanks so much!
Tom
