porch light

I will run mine over the weekend to see, but if it does it isn't loud enough for me to notice.

Techntrek is right, it is when the compressor kicks on, I supposed being roof mounted that it transmits it to the outside shell whick is where my head is (172) when we use the short queen dinette. you can put your hand on the wall and feel a quick thump/vibration when the compressor starts, I think in the future if we need a/c like now, we will leave the fan on low to help mask the starting of the compressor, its still better than a tent on the ground with outside temps hovering around 100 and no air movement.

we have not had the problem with dripping inside. most of our moisture runs down the left side of the pod and off of the corner, this seems to attrack yellow jackets and bee's when its hot and dry. My guess Techntrek is that the evaporator drain is allowed to pool and come inside, if you are ok with it, remove the 4 screws and locate the evap drain, I bet the goopy sealer they use between the cut out in the roof and the roof a/c has created a dam and lets water run inside. let me know what you find.

What was your solution?  A/C replacement?

I'm also up against the wall when I sleep so I can feel and hear the thump more loudly through the wall than my wife does.  She sleeps right through it.
