Little difficulty in using a small line running three gallons of water (my guess) a day into the roof vent of the gray or black tank...or
A line down the inside of the vent and exiting the vent line before the tank... Draining under the vehicle.

Just a cure...
We just spent a weekend in Flagler Beach running the AC non-stop during the day and cycling at night. We dropped a lot more than 3 gallons a day into the sand.

No need to tilt the AC, the condensate actually improves the cooling of the condenser with the latent heat of vaporization, but the idea to have a single low drain point for when the condensate pan overflows is good, and running it through a hose down an internal wall to the ground is also good (no need to go down any vent stacks - you know there would be leaks where it exited) but you would probably run into issues with the bureaucrats who would want to call this condensate water drain "grey water" and not allow it to be dumped on the ground.
