Where did all the AC condensate water go?

We used to see water dripping down the roof when the AC is running. Lately, even when the AC is on full blast for hours, there is no water that we can see draining out of the unit. I climbed on the roof and it's all dried. No leaking inside the cab either.

Is this normal?

    :B

    Same thing happened to me. Years of RV'ing in the midwest the ac always dripped. So when it didn't I got concerned too.

    What is the temp outside?
    Parked in the sun?
    Is your coach level?

    I found when I hit the wonderful state of Florida in the 'summer' the sun is so hot and if there is no shade over head, the water evaporates on the roof before it can drip down!

    If by chance you are perfectly level and real hot sun, it evaporates before it can drip too.
  • At 12% RH, the 'dewpoint' would be below 55F, so likely not much if any water is staying on the cooling coil. Is there any moisture on your soda can?

    Go to Ohio in the summer, and you can see a LOT of moisture dripping from the roof - the RH can be 80% and 85F with 10 times the grains of water per cubic foot of air.

  • I live in south OC and right now the humidity is very low. I doubt the AC will be making condensate in this low humidity. It was very low yesterday too when I returned home.
