We have the 177 2012. North of 49 we don't use the ac all that much, but this past week we had the occasion to use it. Just wondering where the condensate from the ac goes? Does it evaporate on a pan? Just wondering because our friends have a FR flagstaff and the condensate from that ac runs out on the roof and then to the side and off the spout. Made me wonder where the condensate went from our 177... checked all around and under the pod but saw nothing.... was hoping it wasn't running down between the walls.....

It should run off wherever- depends on how level you are etc.

We have a 2014 177 and ran the A/C somewhat on our first trip. We did have a little condensation, and I believe that it ran down on the left (driver) side of the camper. If the air inside the camper is already very dry, however, and the air outside is very dry, you may have little to no condensation. My window unit at home has not produced ANY condensation in the last month because the humidity here is only around 10%.

Ok thanks Will, so your saying the condensate (if there is any) should run off from the top of the pod either towards the front end or back end depending how level you are?

Yes, if your A/C is producing any condensation, it should run down the sides somewhere, depending on how your Pod is tilted. How much condensation you get will depend on the humidity inside the Pod, the humidity outside the Pod, the air temperature outside the Pod, and the intensity of the sun shining on the Pod.
But if you run it for more than a couple of hours and don't see any condensation, you may want to use a ladder to take a look at the top, just to make sure that water isn't going down into your ceiling somehow.

Ok thanks Will, we only ran it for a couple of hours so our grandson could take an afternoon nap.
