Question:

Hello, I just purchased two advent 15k ac units to replace me dometic. Install was easy and everything is working. One for front of mtr home and one in back mtr home. I run the ac for 6-8 hours during day and then turn off a night to sleep. I noticed about 4-6 hrs after turning off it has small drip from unit where roof grate is. I am fairly sure its condensation cause it is only about 6inch spot on bed. And I smelled it and it does not smell Like any oild or any thing like that. ANy thing I should check?

I recommend removing the shroud of your Advent Air RV Air Conditioner # ACM150B and just checking to make sure the drip pan drain holes aren't being blocked by anything so that the water drains out on the roof instead of inside of your trailer.

It's not unheard of but it really shouldn't be dripping that much inside of your trailer. I also recommend checking the gaskets on the unit, if you dragged them across the roof or didn't tighten the units down enough to compress the gasket it could be allowing the water that would normally drain out onto the roof to drip back in and down onto your bed.
