Rv Roof Ac Drain Off Roof

On very hot and humid days well over 35 of the energy used by the roof air conditioner is for moisture removal alone.

Rv roof ac drain off roof.

The condensation drips down into a pan which has an outlet on the side of the base pan that lets the water run onto the roof. This moisture then drops down to the drip pan and is supposed to drain out the drain holes on both sides of the underside of the roof ac. Typically a few screws or nuts hold it in place. There are no drain lines for the ac unit on the roof of the rv.

If it is leaking inside you most likely have a clogged outlet which can be easily opened with a stiff wire probed in the drain outlet. At roof top level remove the shroud covering your a c unit. For safety sake put a lock out tag on the switch or thermostat to warn others not to turn it on or better still disconnect the power to the rv. I would suggest taking off the exterior shroud and metal evaporator shield and cleaning the drip pan and checking the drain holes.

The moisture that is removed from inside the rv must be relocated to the roof of the rv where it usually evaporates. The fix is easy. On those types of days quite a bit of water may collect in the pan of the air conditioner. Turn off the air conditioner unit.

Which ideally should drain the water from the evaporator coil on the roof instead of inside of the rv.
