Mine didn’t have visible drains it had 2 very small holes in a pan under the condenser. When I removed the cover and vacuumed everything out, I was able too see a little bit of water dripping out under the ac on to the roof. I put my finger under the ac and i could feel 2 very small drain holes. I went to the auto parts store and bought a small piece of vacuum line. I was able to get it under the ac and I blew through the hose, it cleared my drains. Have you ever parked your car with the ac on and notice water under your motor on the ground? That’s condensation draining from your ac. The same thing is happening with the ac on the rv. If it were me I would not be happy with a shop that did all the work you described and it still leaked.
They told me now that water is leaking where the roof material meets the coach metal. They told me the entire seam needs to be re caulked. This seam they tell me was caulked with silicone that has to be removed completely. That is the project that I am now working on. They told me to put eternabond tape all around the seam once the silicone has been removed. I am not happy with the shop. What are your thoughts on tape instead of dicor.

On the drain hole issue, I am embarrassed to say I dont know the parts of the ac. And I dont know where to look for the drain hole. I did take the cowling off the ac and there was nothing that need to be vacuumed. If anyone has a pic of where it can be found and what it looks like. I would appreciate the help.

If you can send a pic of where to find it I would appreciate it.

Glad you fixed your problem. You do relize that the title of your post was "Pooling around the AC"? That's why we answered the way we did.
