Window unit style AC

Our new 2018 Zinger Lite has the window style AC unit in the wall. on Humid days it drips and leaks onto the bed as well as it is starting destroy the trim. this is only after a week long trip. after it started to leak i tilted the camper a bit to allow for more angle in the drip tray.

I guess my question is, Is there something wrong? or is this just life with this style of A/C? I will take it back to the dealer before the warranty is up but ive got trips planned and dont want to wait for down time.

    Thanks, thats what i figured. From what ive been reading im dreading taking it back into the dealer for warranty work. Hopefully i can band-aid it for the next couple trips.

    There should be a pan under it to direct the water out the side as long as you're reasonably level. Perhaps it's not caulked well? The pan should also be bent over the outside (but inside the trim, so you can't see it), so water doesn't go down the inside of the wall. Yes, that would be a warranty issue, if it's not draining properly, you could end up with rotted wood framing/floor (not sure of the construction of your unit).
