Water dripping from inside of AC Unit
Just started today, when my Coleman Mach 15,000 BTU AC stops running, I am getting rather a lot of water dripping from the ceiling unit. While the unit is running I am getting the usual runoff down the side of the coach, so I don't think it is a blocked condensation drain. Any ideas what it could be?

I wouldn't totally rule out the drain. That would be the good news.

Thanks for the replies. Blocked drain makes sense. We've been on a 30 amp site for the last 4 weeks just running the one AC so its been heavily used. Looks like a call to the mobile RV repair guy tomorrow. I don't do roofs any more.

Coleman A/Cs are bad about clogged drains. They have tiny little holes for draining, that can clog easier than other units. The normal profile units, that is.

Yup, been there, done that - clogged drains.
They are small, one on each side of the catch tray. One was clogged with a dead bug, the other with collected dirt/lint. After cleaning the tray I also drilled two additional holes, out the side of the tray, one on each side, to keep it from happening again.

Both drain holes in front unit were plugged. Tech also checked rear unit and found plastic debris in the holes, probably from the factory. $55 well spent.

Cheap for a service call, and much cheaper than my ER visit after I fell off a ladder.
