We just turned on the Air Conditioning while connected to AC power to do some work in the new RPod 179 at home. After a couple hours of running in the humid environment of Houston, Texas, I noticed that the normal condensation dripping from the A/C unit drips on the roof, runs to the left side, down the back and off the back left lower corner of the RPod. Is this the normal flow or should it be plumbed to some other outlet below the chassis. I'm just learning the systems and want to know what is normal. Thanks.

The A/C condensation drips onto the roof. The runoff path will be determined by how the Pod is leveled. Normal operation; no problem.

Condensation run-off usually results in a small puddle just outside the R-Dome. It will attract small birds

in season, and they in turn keep the Cocker Spaniels entertained....
