Air conditioner dripping inside (Dometic)
Well, with this heat and humidity am sure we all are using our ACs. Ours in our '04 Excel TS has started to drip. It's a Dometic DuoTherm 600 Series Penguin. At first we hoped it had some non-obvio...

Chuck,
I have a 2005 Excel TD and had the same problem you have. It started dripping condensate when we were in Florida and had to deal with the humidity. Be advised that while Dometic ac units do have 4 threaded holes for mounting bolts to snug the unit to the seal on the roof, PleasureWay has chosen to only use the front two. Seems to work okay I guess but in my case, one of the two empty holes was leaking condensate onto my bed. My fix was to remove the inner plastic panel and filter which gave me access to the two unused bolt holes. I forced a bit of silicone into each hole and then threaded a 1/4"x20 hex head bolt about 1 1/2" long into each hole and snugged them down. Problem gone.
I spoke to Phil Nikel at PW about this situation and he said the unused bolt holes WERE supposed to be capped or plugged at the time of installation at the PW factory and the two front bolts were enough to hold the ac down okay. I think the back end is wedged against something and the rear two bolts were not necessary.
