AC Condensation in Walls

[Mark Anderson]

Hi, we have a 2021 Thor Freedom Elite, just used the AC overnight for the first time down in Texas. Woke up to a puddle on the floor of the wall separating the bedroom and bathroom. The bathroom has an AC vent in it and the water seems to be coming from condensation from the AC vent, running inside the wall to the floor. At least that's my best guess. Anyone else have this problem? Not sure what to do about it. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Take it back to the dealer for repair under warranty. Don’t need mold to start forming in the walls.

Assuming you have a roof top unit that is ducted to the bathroom and others, I bet the main condensation drain on the A/C is plugged and the condensation is getting blown through with the air. Remove the top of the A/C and look at the drain.

Edit after noting that this is a new RV. Yes take it back. Maybe the condensation drain wasn't installed correctly. Not likely to have plugged so soon.

Your roof A/C has a drain around the evaporator with a small tube that comes out of the rear than goes to a depression under the external fan. If it is humid, the depression is supposed to fill up with condensate and the fan will sling it on to the condenser making the A/C more efficient. For all of this to work properly, the coach must be nearly level and the not clogged. Dust, dirt and fungus can interfere with the drain.
