Condensatin drip or Chinese Water Torture

[Texas_Two_Stepp]

When my rig is leveled the condensation from the heat pump goes directly down the center of the fifth wheel from the unit rearward where it forms a pool in a depression at cap seam ridge, then overflows the seam ridge and drips over the rear roof edge onto the horizontal surface of the fiberglass at the back end of the trailer. This creates two problems. First a moldish slime forms in the pool and secondly the dripping is driving me nuts (which is a short trip).
I have thought of using Dicor or some such caulkish material but don't really want to do that. Has anyone come up with a good solution to redirect the water to the rear edge overflow scupper??

I had a similar problem with my trailer. I bought a tube of clear caulk. Cut the end of to the largest diameter of the tip and laid a bead from behind the A/C diagonal towards the off door side back corner. Then put another right next to it and a third right on top of those two. Now all the water from the A/C goes off the back side. Cheap but effective fix that has been done for two years now.

This seems the simplest and effective remedy so far. I've got the same problem from air conditioners and just plain old rain and dew. Might take more work but a bead around the top guiding the water to the gutter spouts would probably solve the ugly stubborn black and white drip marks. Might have to figure out something from the gutter spouts, other than clothes pins to handle more water.

There are commercial drip edge material (think I saw it at Camping World with a sticky tape edge. You could lay this on the roof and direct the water to the awning rail a drip location of your choice. There are also pans that can be installed under your A/C unit which then allows you to install a PVC drain to send the condensate where you choose.
