This has probably been discussed but I just have my phone and searching isn't easy. We are camped in 90 degree heat and the air conditioner has been running for 5 hours. There is no sign of a drip outside. Is this a problem?

    No, it's not a problem. If you'rel worried, tip the T@B a bit towards the front and the driver side. Not much. That will just keep any water from dripping onto the driver's seat. Most people ask why no condensation, and few complain of too much condensation.

    When I had the grill off to paint it, there wasn't so much as a drip mark in the dust on the drip pan.

    Thanks guys. I sleep on the AC side and did not want to wake up at 3am soaked. I figured it would be like the car that drips like crazy.

    Here is a photo of the cabinet with the A/C removed.  The yellow arrow is the drain location, the red arrow the A/C grill from the inside.  This confirms Verna's suggestion to simply have the T@B tilted slightly forward and down for good drainage.

    Does anyone have (or could anyone run outside and snap) a pic of the drain on the side of the T@b?  Thanks

    The clear drain tube goes down through the wall and exits under the T@B. Mine was hidden on the lip of the I-beam so it was hard to find underneath.

    Thank you so much. This picture explains why my a/c was dripping inside my camper
