I'm getting a drip that comes down from my front A/c unit on the passenger side filter, any suggestions?

Does the drip start early after you have turned the unit on, or is it one an hour or so before it appears? I have not taken a roof air apart, but like all air units it must have a pan and drain hole, or tube that may be clogged. Dust mixed with water makes MUD, and thus can and does often plug the drain. Do you have a manual that may steer you to such?

I wish you well.

Hi Guys on my air conditioner I had water dripping into the interior, so I removed the cover on the roof units, on each side there is a trough with a hole in the end, mine were pluged up, I cleaned them out no more trouble. This trough drains the water from the evaperator coil.

Mine are original 1976 units, which are still working great.

If the drain holes in the pan are stopped up and you clean them out, where does the water go? Is there some sort of tube built into the body of the Barth that routes the water out under the coach, or does it just run across the roof to the lowest point?

I've never gone up on the roof to see exactly where the water came from, but every rig I ever had with a/c, simply had it running off the roof. Sometimes if I managed to park just right, I'd find it dripping down my neck where I wanted to sit.

Olroy, hopefully you are speaking of where you are sitting in you lawn chair outside and not on your sofa. That would be baaad.

Mine drips down the side and that's the way it is suppose to happen. There are trays you can buy with hose that you can direct but that seems a little to me like a "southeast smoke shifter" after the water leaves the hose it will go where the gravity takes it. Plus with my luck a spider would build its web in the hose so it would back up and go into the coach. Back here in the midwest it is like having a hose running off of the roof sometimes.
