Title: A/C drips

My front A/C drips onto the floor on the inside. The more humid it is, the more it happens. The middle A/C does it too but not near as much.
I have been told that some dripping is normal but we have to keep several towels below it as a puddle will form. Any ideas will be appreciated.

John,

It seems CC has used several different AC units. Ours has a condensate pump in each unit that removes the condensate from the unit and pumps it through a tube to under the coach. When one of our pumps quit, the unit dripped inside our coach and also sent condensate running over the roof and down the side of the coach. We had the pump replaced and all is well. Other units have gravity feed tubes that can become plugged. If operating properly, they do not drip inside.

John, I had this problem on a 2000 Intrigue and my present 03 Allure. On the Intrigue CC paid to dry clean the bedspread because of water spots. On both coaches it was found that the unit was not properly sealed, and correcting that eliminated the dripping.

John-the dripping is probably from ice forming on the condenser and then dripping down through the filter as it melts. Try raising the thermostat a few degrees while also increasing the fan speed. It works for me when the humidity is high.
