Not raining so condensation is source of dripping
Could be Evap Coil Fins icing up then thawing
Which could be from dirty filter/dirty fins ---- A/C fan on Low speed
*Clean Evap Coil Fins, change air filter frequently, make sure fan is in AUTO
Could be Evap Coil drip tray drain holes obstructed
Which could be from crud/mold partially plugging drain holes
Which could be from overtightening the hold down bolts, crushing roof gasket & A/C Pan is now too close to RV Roof obstructing the drip pain drains
*Access Evap Coil Drip Pan drain holes under roof shrouds (Main cover and evap coil section sealed cover) and clean them
**Check that roof gasket is not over-compressed (should be roughly 1/2" distance between A/C Pan and roof line -- replace gasket if crushed)
Could be Evap Drip Pan drain holes are just too small to handle the High Humidity --- condensation is accumulating faster then drain holes can remove
While A/C is running the excess condensation is being sucked up by fan and blown into ducts --- then when fan stops a wave of condensation drips out
*When cleaning Evap Coil Drip Pan drain holes...enlarge them for higher flow thru them
