Condensation pan

Can anyone tell me how much I have to take apart on a Coleman Mach II air conditioner to find the condensation drip pan. My drain tubes are clogged & I need to rooter router them.

Pull the top cover, pull the inside metal cover off the evaporator to expose the drip pan under the coil. Good luck and keep us posted.

Have you considered blowing them out from the bottom exit?

RV Wizard..........I pulled the cover & found the condensation tube. Blew on it & it seemed to be clear. I may be trying to solve a problem they doesn't exist. I now think that the drain pan collects water only in the summer mode. When I use the heat pump the evaporator/condenser switch functions so I'm thinking the water run off is normal. Let me know what you think.

You are correct in that a heat pump does in fact switch coils for heat and cool modes. Therefore, any condensation that develops on the outdoor coil will run off onto the roof and not down the drain.
