Good morning, we have a 2019 Rpod 180 and sometimes the air conditioner has a drip inside the unit. We had it checked out while it was under warranty and they couldn’t find any problems. We are camping at this time and it has rained often. We have the same amount of dripping, regardless if it rained or not. We have had to place a small doggie pad to collect the drip. Could it be moisture? Appreciate any help.

Condensate is supposed to drain onyo the roof and flow down one corner. check to see if your drains are plugged of if the catch pan has a leak, bend or other fault. ------------- John '16 R-Pod 180 |

Also, you might need to take the inside cover off and tighten the bolts that compress the gasket. They might have loosened up. ------------- 2017 F150 XLT SuperCab 2020 rPod 180 |

I'm not sure what model or year you have, but the a/c will drip water whenever it runs. Of course, it should NOT drip inside. Not sure what year it started, but You should have 4 small "gutters" sticking out from the roof. They direct the dripping water to drip at one of the front or rear corners of the flat section of roof. Maybe if you level your camper with the front or back tipped down just a bit, it might help you get the drip to go where you prefer it to go. ------------- 2017.5 Rp-172 2020 R-pod 195 2015 Frontier sv 4.0L 6cyl I'll be rpodding |

There are at least 8 if I remember correctly. Check behind flaps and look in the circular holes with a flashlight. You will find them eventually. ------------- StephenH Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7712 - ouR escaPOD mods Former RPod 179 Current Cherokee Grey Wolf 24 JS |

You have to remove the filters to access some of them:

| I remove 6 screws and filters, check everything I could see and no visible water, took the cover from the roof portion and toward the rear found a leave in what appears to be a small opening. I have ran the ac now at home for two days and had no leaks now that I r3moved the le@ve let see how it does. Also I lower the front and a little to one side. |

I think you will be okay now that you removed the leaf blocking the drain. Good job on getting it figured out and thanks for reporting the results. ------------- StephenH Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7712 - ouR escaPOD mods Former RPod 179 Current Cherokee Grey Wolf 24 JS |
