Hello,
I have a 2013 Gulfstream Amerilite Ultralite 16BHC, and its AC is mounted on the wall and appears to be a regular low profile air conditioning unit. It's made by GE.
My question is: does the black roof vent thingy serve any purpose in this setup? I have no idea why it's even installed:
There doesn't appear to be any sort of drain line for the condensation, and often (on warmer humid trips) I find water spilling out from the bottom onto my bed! :S
Regarding water spilling - all A/C's make water due to condensation on the evaporator coil (the one in the front near the controls). This is supposed to run down and get channeled to the rear where the condenser fan is supposed to pick up the water and use it to help cool off the condenser coil. However, dirt, bugs, improper installation, trailer not level can all lead to the water not flowing to the back of the unit and will result in an overflow into the living quarters.
Hi Domo,
This thread is over a year old. I actually sold the camper this past spring. Thanks for chiming in though. ;)
Cheers,
