Lower Rear View Monitor Issue

During our test drive, we experienced the lower monitor flickering with lots of horizontal lines. The dealer's service tech removed the console drawer and disappeared under there with some electrical tape. He stated the connections sometimes needed "extra reinforcement" from constant movement of the coach. It appeared to be the fix, albeit, temporary.
Within 100 miles of departing, the bottom screen started "rolling" again. We transferred the cameras to the top screen and have foregone the radio controls for now. As we are now a good stretch of highway heading to our S&B, I decided to pull out the drawer and see if I could see any obvious loose connections; not found a source of yet, but was able to wiggle the whole pack of wiring and change the lower monitor view for a few seconds. However, what I did find was IMO, a lot of condensation under there. Every supply duct, as well as what I think is the ac compressor unit was covered in condensation droplets and literally dropping water on all the wiring as well as in the drawer and on the porcelain tile inside this area. Does anyone have any idea if this is normal or not? At the very least, this appears to be a good place for algae/mold to grow. Not wanting to do a complete tear down while going down the highway, I have left as is, for now.

I put out spiral owners manual in the drawer, and it must have stuck out of the back side of the drawer. When I pulled the manual out, it was soaked.

Our cup holders on dash will drain into the drawer. I have also had to remove panel to tape the power connector going to the lower monitor.

I spoke with Entegra tech about this, and was told there shouldn't be that much condensation under there. He suggested that there must be hot air getting in from the generator and to remove drawer and look for daylight, as well as opening generator area and looking there as well; especially in the corners. I am going to check this afternoon and if I find this, I will seal the opening and see how it goes.
