AC condensation

2017 19’ Escape Dometic AC is dripping quite a bit of water down trailer exterior. Is that normal? bought this rig second hand and do not have the AC operating manual so can’t look it up.

Perfectly normal. The amount of condensation runoff will vary depending on the humidity and temperature. In a muggy area, the amount of runoff is much greater.

When we know we're going to run the AC, we try to set up the trailer very slightly tongue high, and very slightly passenger side high. That way the condensation runs off the back rear of the trailer, out of the way.

We do the same. Sometimes I also place a bucket under the drip line to catch the runoff so I can pour it where I want instead of creating a puddle near the trailer.
