AC condensation running on outside of camper down by awning

[The Colonel]

Before I crawl on top of camper to remove shroud thought I’d ask if I will be able to see drain area that way. Water is coming out of drain tube in WW but also runs down outside of camper. Camper is level, drain tube has been blown out from inside air return area where hose connects to drain port lines and I’ve blown into those ports also. I don’t have access to a ladder for now so trying to plan ahead. Thx

Mine does the same thing on a humid day. That is condensation on top of your trailer. Mine collects up there and runs down the side of trailer.

I’m not sure that’s what I’m seeing. Think I’m going to have to take a look.

Do you have a drain like this?

I use a hard plastic 1/8" vacuum hose, work it up from the bottom.
Others have had good luck with weed whacker cord.

Similar but a little shorter and located in the wheel well. I did blow line out with compressed air from inside at hose connection so think that run of hose may be Ok. I may try to run a piece of ww cord from that inside connection to unit to see if anything changes. Thanks

Not yet. I don’t have a ladder to get up there for now. Maybe in a week or two I’ll take a look.

Remove AC filters and look at drain hose. If it is not properly secured (there are brackets that hold it as I recall), it can dangle down a little and it does not drain as effectively. Re-securing it the bracket fixed this issue when it happened to us.

Thanks, it’s not secured as I recall, I’ll see what I can do, and if that helps.

Thought I’d give an update. On my ducted AC there are the two return filters I had removed them before and pulled the drain line out of the tee fitting to blow out the line. That didn’t stop the condensation from running down outside, so I read your post and decided to do a couple of things. First, I found that the left drain hose from AC had detached from upper mount, it’s just sticky taped. When I straightened out the line to where it should be I got doused. Fixed that with Velcro. Then I ran a small drain cleaner into both AC drain hoses from the tee fitting. Whatever I did fixed it, it’s draining where it should now. Thanks, and I never made it on the roof.
