Reefer Condensation Drain

I finished mod today, routed it outside at bottom of cover vent after drilling a 3/8" hole, not thru louver. Doing test, fridge is cooling, no condensation yet. Can send pic if desired by anybody. One of my thoughts was if you want to contain condensation in a cup, why make it plastic, plastic serves as an insulator to evaporation, why not aluminum. Also over thinking. It's more stable by not just routing thru louver.

Although my fridge in the 195 is a 6.0 Cf, not 3.9, I think they both work the exact same. I have the drain line routed out the vent cover. It sticks out about 2 inches. My fridge run incredibly cold, so I can say in my case, routing it out does not seem to affect it.

Yes, I was probably overthinking it. I need to check the cup again anyway. I may just run the hose outside and forget about the cup.

Water cooling would help if it was splashing on the condenser in an absorption fridge too but its not. I doubt you'd see any performance difference if it just gets routed to drip outside. Seems dumb not to do it that way on rpods, other campers do drip directly out. 

Originally posted by StephenH On mine, the condensate cup cracked. I glued it back together and so far, it has been holding. If it fails, I'll run the tube out through one of the openings in the grill so it just drips on the ground. It will sacrifice a little bit of efficiency, but I'd rather not have the moisture accumulating and rotting the floor.
