Use compressed air. Not to exceed 30psi.

Maybe use a electricians fishing tool to pull wires. Alot smaller and be gentle.

I have a small hand pump/syphon. I use that, gives enough pressure to do the/job but not enough to do and damage.

.105 weedeater line. Take hose off pan or cup inside trailer. Push line up from outside. Tie a knot in end when it comes out in trailer. Pull back down from outside.

You can heat knot with a lighter to get it just the right size and make it hold it's shape.

Thank you for the tips I have run a wire up the tube from the bottom and also used my compressor to clear it. It is draining however I am still getting a drip in side the AS. Is there anything else I can do other then snake from inside the AS

Thanks

Your pan might be cracked right at the drain connection. Some have had this problem. Fixed with JB Welders.

The pan is what your AC sits in on the roof. You may get lucky and be able to take out your filters and see the crack to epoxy it.

It is in the ceiling unit. Best to take the cover off to see if there is a crack. Drain tube should be on the driver's side.
