2020 Anthem. In the morning I am finding wet floor area where water is dripping from AC vents. It is the large vents in the middle of the coach. I thought maybe the AC units had a "drip pan" like the old ones. I took cover off and no pan. I checked all three AC units. Some condensation but didn't see anything out of the usual. I'm concerned this water is going to stain my ceiling panels. I can't see where it is coming from trying to look in the holes in the ceiling. Anyone ran into this or have any suggestions to stop it. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Have you been running the A/C Unit?
Roof top A/C has a drip pan ----directly under the Evap Coil
Your RV may have Condensate Drain Pump(s) that evacuate the condensate drown thru drains under the RV

Has it been raining?
Roof Gasket not sealing
Hold down bolts may need to be tightened.....just SNUG them NOT crank them

The ac has a condensation pump on it. You might have a clog in the line. You have to gain access to the hose and blow it out. The pump could also not be working and overflowing into the ducts. The unit can also freeze up from low charge and drop water in the ducts. Contact NIRVC service department for any further assistance.

Might need to get up on your roof and check the cowling and drain holes.

Its either a hole/leak in the roof or one of the objects that currently already penetrate the roof, or it is an AC unit that is producing the water.

Same thing happened to us on our bedroom AC. Checked the pump. Blew air thru drain hose and dislodged a plug in the line. Not sure what it was. Ran some bleach thru the drain line. No more problems.

So today it rained extremally hard, I noticed water coming from the rope light ceiling just under the AC unit in the bedroom, a lot of water to be exact, I don't think it is the AC unit not removing the condensation as this has never happened before, so I am thinking that there is a hole somewhere under the unit on the roof, anyone know how to replace the gasket? Or do I have to take my MH to a service shop? Thanks in Advance.

There are very shallow pans under AC units. Just a small amount of water in them. Didn't see any drain hose?? I tightened up all the bolts that were holding ac unit to coach. Hopefully that will take care of it. Thanks for replies guys.

FlyingButch might want to watch AZexpert on YouTube and watch him do a roof inspection very informative. Hope you have found your leak.

After tightening the bolts did you take a hose and try to replicate a rain storm/large amount of water to see if that fixed the issue?

Lemme aks you this: (that's the Bronx in me)
Is the front most AC running constantly while the other two shut down as they reaches temp?? If so it can sweat and cause a drip Aks me how I know.... Have you done the front temp sensor mod?

I have had this exact issue before on my Dometic. As it was dripping, I climbed up really quick and removed the outside cover and styrofoam coil cover. It was all frozen over. The freeze sensor went bad causing the compressor to run constantly until the unit froze up.
