Dash AC Condensation

We had the dash AC (Evans Tempcon) on for several hours while driving north out of Ft. Myers. Condensation formed on the ducts behind the dash and it dripped on the pedals. Is this normal due to humidity, the difference in the indoor and outdoor temperatures, ??, or does this indicate a problem somewhere?

The condensation should go out of the dash housing before it get to a depth to drip inside the coach.
Possible problems are ; a plugged condensate drain hose or a crack or bad seal in the housing , around the evaporator.

Here's a photo of my HVAC housing ; above the gen set ; with the air inlets taped off ( keeps the dust out when I'm parked in the desert) arrow is the drain hose.

Mine does the same thing. It's not an issue with the evap drain, it's that the non insulated ductwork gets so cold that condensation forms on the outside and drips on my feet while driving. I thought about adding insulation to the supply hoses, but that would be a real nightmare of a job. Now I drive barefoot and it is rather refreshing....
