There is a pan that is part of the AC that collects the condensation from the coils. It's generally just about an inch or so above the roof. On each side of the pan there are holes where the water drips out of the pan and onto the roof. So, depending on the tilt of your RV the water will run across the roof and down the sides.

Now, I don't recommend this for others AS I KNOW THE RISK. But, I ran flexible rubber tubing (as in aquarium air line) from the pan hole to the edge of the roof. At least with this method I can determine where the water drips.

Of course, the risk is if the tubing becomes clogged the pan will overflow instead of draining. No doubt this would lead to water leaking around the AC shroud and into the RV (as would happen if the pan overflows for any reason). I check it very often!
