RV Air Conditioners

Talking about the roof kind... say on a 40' park model or travel trailer.

Question is... Is it normal for them to leak some water when running? I imagine there will be condensation, but is there suppose to be a pan inside to catch the drippings or will it always just run off the roof of the trailer?

Shouldn't leak on the inside, but plenty of run-off outside.

On very humid days we seen a little condensation on the grates of the air conditioner that drip inside, but not anything major. Mostly a few drops.

Thanks guys

What I am seeing is a good drip on the outside of the trailer. Seems problematic given that it runs towards our screen porch. I guess if it's normal then the next step is to re-direct the drip

If there is a condensate drain line, re-route. If there is no condensate drain line and the unit dumps the water onto the roof, then relevel the unit enough to route the condensate to a preferred location or add a drain line.

Condensate on the interior, grills, will occur until the indoor air is dehumidifed below the dewpoint of the supply air coming out of the unit.

I believe they are set up so it should run off the back corner of the trailer. ie left rear. if not it may be plugged with leaves, seeds, cottonwood dump or the trailer needs to be leveled.
