Question:

I purchased this AC from etrailer to replace a Coleman Mach 8. It cools very well, but it drips water into the interior of the RV. It is draining some on exterior but a bunch of water collects under insulated housing. There’s no seal around the fan. Is something missing on my unit?

The Furrion Chill Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Furrion Setup - 15,000 Btu - Black # FR58PR does come with a gasket on the bottom of the unit to keep water from entering the vehicle. It sounds like either the drainage openings are clogged up or that gasket seal either wasn't placed correctly or has been damaged. I recommend checking the drainage openings first because condensation is definitely expected and ensuring those drains are open is what will keep water from backing up and entering your unit versus staying on the outside where the water can run off without damaging anything. A majority of the time, this is the issue and not the gasket however if this doesn't solve your issue then you will need to remove the unit and replace the gasket with the Camco Universal Fit RV Roof Air Conditioner Gasket Kit # CAM25071.

Jayson, I'm working on a Furrion 8K that is NEW and in 1 day in service. When the interior cover is on, no problem. But as soon as the air distribution cover is in place then condensation blows everywhere. Any thoughts?

@Michael Have you checked for any clogs anywhere like Jason mentioned in the answer page above?

@JonG this is a NEW AC, so nothing was clogged. I did finally remove the drain plug under the condenser fan, but that didn't do any good since there as no water in that area. I drilled two new 1/2" holes, one on either side in the veins of the base. Helped some, but didn't fix the issue. I ended up raising the front of the RV 6", which stopped the dripping but wasn't satisfactory to the owner. The rear Cube works fine, but it's on a significant decline, which pulls the water away from the plenum.

@Michael The AC units would need to be level at best, so if the front one is tilted towards the opening then that would definitely contribute towards water dripping inside. were you able to get the front one taken care of, or only the rear one?
