A/C Drip

   When using the A/C last weekend, the water from the A/C drained over the RPOD, onto the ground, and then flowed down to the ground right in front of RPOD door.  Muddy Mess.  Are there any mods to prevent this from happening?  Some type of gutter system to deflect the water?

thanks

	Mine usually drips off the front on the drivers side. if you put some sort of gutter under where is drips and ran it away form the pod that would work. some sort of plastic tarp attached to the bottom of the pod and sloped away from the door or a short piece of plastic rain gutter propped up under drip. or even cut a short piece of ABS pipe in half to make a gutter. You probably want it movable in case the drip moves around.

	Another option is you can raise or lower the tongue jack to direct the flow front or back. A small height change can make a difference.

	But redirecting it via a gutter or changing the level of the pod might direct it away from the offending area.

	Doug has it right, just change the level of the POD in on direction to run the water off. You can not get rid of the water as the A/C is working as it should pulling the humidity out of the air. Goose

	Slightly changing the level of the pod was my solution also. I tend to go for the low tech, and as long as it isn't dripping on anything important I am happy.

	The only problem I have had is that during this dry spell in the midwest the water dripping off of the left rear corner is that it attracks yellow jackets and bee"s, they get a little testy when going toward the back of the pod, We have never had any leaks inside. its noisy but better than sticking to the sheets.

	Newbie question regarding A/C leaks: This appears to be the freshest forum on the subject. I read previously that the filters are easy to access for a clean or change-out. Any advice on locating the filters? I suppose they are up top. Which side fore/aft/driver's/passengers. And how much weight can the top of the POD withstand if I can't reach from a ladder? I will also try changing the level next time.
