Air Conditioner Runoff

Good morning.

I am thinking that the battery disconnect switch should be good to go. Unless you see something wrong with it.

If it is in the same place as my 192 (front left on the trailer A frame), it is constantly exposed to rain, snow, ice as well as everything that gets thrown at it by the tires of your tow vehicle.

Have a good one,

Andy

No problem, that is the strength of this forum. Lots of different thoughts, experience and ideas to draw upon.

It is good to keep in mind not all battery shut offs are made with the same quality so it is a good idea to keep a weather eye on the battery shut off switch as I have heard of them failing on rare occasions.

As all other electrical connections, they need to be kept clean, secure/tight and corrosion free to work properly.

Cheers,

Andy

I've experienced this as well here with my 22 190 in Columbus, Ohio camping this year. Still not sure If its normal or if its something to be concerned with. But also happens on really hot days. 

The water is coming from the evaporator in the interior of the trailer because that is where the humidity is condensing (it's called condensate). So the outside humidity doesn't directly bear on how much water is dripping down. The inside humidity is what matters.

If you started with a hot humid trailer interior, sealed it up perfectly, and cooled the air inside from 100F/80% relative humidity to say 75F/50%RH (comfy) you would remove about 1 pint of water which would run down the outside of the trailer, after which there would be no more water being extracted from the inside air and the a/c would only cycle to remove heat coming through the walls and window glass, not moisture.

If you left the trailer wide open under the same outside conditions the a/c would run continuously just trying to take water out of the air, and you'd have about 12 pints per hour running down the outside.

Of course you can't seal up a trailer perfectly, and that good because you'd suffocate.

But if you keep the trailer closed up as much as possible to minimize the air exchange between the inside and outside your condensate will be much less than if you are going in and out, or leaving the vent fan on or windows open.
