Dripping sound inside ceiling near a/c vent

This is only our third trip with this brand new camper. It is hot in TX so of course we are running the a/c nonstop. Each morning I awake to a loud dripping sound (about once every 10-20 secs) coming from inside the ceiling right at the a/c vent of the master bedroom.

I only hear it in the mornings, never when going to sleep. I cannot see or feel any water but I haven't taken the vent grating off yet either. I hear the sound in the mornings whether the unit is completely off, or just the fan is running, or if the compressor is on.

I don't like the idea of any water being on the inside of the TT, especially behind or inside walls/ceiling where it can be doing damage that I can't see. Any help is appreciated!

Sounds of dripping does not a drip make. Sounds more like the sound things make when the temperature changes with expansion and contraction.

Step one.. Lay multiple towels on whatever is below warm air intake on A/C
Step 2: Shut off
Step 3: Remove filters, clean and replace

Step 4: Turn back on

At any point where you feel it is proper either return towels to storage or hang up to dry.,

Option 2 Water normally drips from some point on the A/C onto the roof.. I have two A/Cs one drips off the back the other the driver's side.

If the RV is not level but slightly tilted the wrong way this can result in the inside edge of the drip tray being higher than the drip lip.. And dripping.

NOTE Water dripping off the evaporator colis into the drip tray is NORMAL.

Howdy,

I also have water dripping in from Roof AC (I know it is condensate). It is a ducted unit and only runs in when in a certain almost level vehicle position. I do not think the AC/roof gasket is leaking, Is this typical? never had a ducted ac before and the last roof one I had never had condensed water inside. 2003 Winnebago Mini 24V.
Thanks
