Greta, Sounds like a drain issue. This water would normally drain outside. It may be best to seek a good RV dealer that can check the problem out. Hopefully a small correction will fix it up. Thanks for your post.

We just got a 1997 Gulfstream Friendship 102 with 2 roof top air conditioners. I can’t give the brand right now b/c I can’t climb the ladder to look (that’s a long story). The back unit over the bedroom works great. The front unit works great EXCEPT when the unit automatically shuts down or we turn it off, there is either dripping or a fine stream of water which we are now catching in the kitchen trash can. We’ve replaced the filter. We have manuals for everything but the ACs. Suggestions? Any help will be appreciated.

Walter Burmylo, There is no place to connect a hose as the evaporator just drips in general. There are units that have a pan that surrounds the AC unit that a hose can be attached to. These may not be ideal though as any movement may cause the water to spill out very easily. Some high end coaches have channeled drians off that leads to drain holes that are tubed down imside and out. Drip rail extensions are also very popular and just take the water a couple of inches from the body. I hope this is of some help to you. Thanks for your post.

Rusty Basinger, There are different size A/C units available, each requiring slightly different current loads. Generally you need a generator large enough to handle not only the rated wattage of the A/C unit, but also to handle the compressor start up load as well as some additional capacity for your charger and like equipment. This will pretty well mean you will probably need a 3000 watt for a smaller single unit and up from there. I hope this is of some help. Thank you for your input.
