air conditioner leaking water into camper

I have a 3 year old Coleman Mach air conditioner. It is leaking water into the coach. I pulled the plastic shroud off to look for drain hoses but couldn't find one. The front part of the AC is sealed and I didn't want to take out all the screws. I did take a small stick and moving it carefully under the side of the sealed part I did get water rushing out onto the roof but I am still getting an occasional drip inside. Any ideas?
Thanks

    edatlanta could be on your Christmas card list with his good suggestion. Worked for me a year or two ago.

    Ours dripped once when at the beach, high humidity. If it does it again, I'll be checking the drain lines.

    Ch the condition of the gasket between the a/c and the roof. New this gasket is almost 1" thick and compresses over time. You will see 4 hold down screws, one in each corner of the a/c. These get loose over time as the gasket gets older and compresses. You may just need to tighten these screws a little. They should be just a hair more than hand tight.

    If it's an occasional drip it may just be condensation forming on cooled parts after the air leaves the evaporator fins. Is it very humid? This happened to us in our old poorly-insulated TT down on the hot texas coast.
