Condensation from LD Air Conditioner
Yahoo Message Number: 142617
Has anyone been in a humid climate recently and had to deal with a lot of condensation coming from Air Conditioner in LD ?
 What have you done to try and avoid condensation from dripping in unit ?
 Have you seen any drip pans that would attaché to bottom to catch water or thought of other approaches, besides staying away from humid areas ?

Thank you,

Barry Holahan

I have never had an issue with water dripping in the unit. You may want to check that the bolts holding the ac onto the roof are all snug and the gasket is in good shape.  I also always park the DaVee (our name for the LD) so it is nose high just a few degrees.  That way what others term Lake Newton, is smaller and is the source of the creek that feeds the falls over the REAR window instead of the drivers side window.
I live in Virginia near the swamps that later became Washington DC.

Agreed! This is the most frequent cause of dripping from the air conditioner. Tighten those bolts before you try anything more drastic. Chances are it'll stop your leak.

Yes, but I'm embarrassed to admit that every time we have that condensation issue, it seems to be due to dirty air filters in the unit.  Washing the filters fixes the issue until the next time!
