Air conditioning condensation drain ?


kurtv

Recommended Posts

Can some tell me where the condensation drip line is routed?  It appears to drip below the right rear bumper near the “winterizing port”. Also, does anyone know how this line is to be serviced? If at all ?

 

thanks - kurtv

My 2020 OLEll line drips behind the rear driver side tire, the tip of the drain hose is visible from underneath. It is routed upward between the inner and outer hulls to the rooftop Dometic Penguin ll in my case. Although I have never had a need, a heavy monofilament fishing or string trimmer line could safely be used to probe for any obstruction. You may want to get a visual on the drain hose tip to verify location and if the condensate is dripping from it. If not then a more involved service is likely needed.

The drip line can be accessed in the basement (bottom street side) and above in the attic corner street side.  You would need to remove the concealing panels for access.

Remembering to Plug the hole when 'not camping for extended periods' to prevent insects (i.e. mud daubers) from using it, is a good thing.
Just add the step, to your winterization and  de-winterization to remove the plug.

Our 2023 Elite II with Truma air conditioning has a drain line on both sides, coming out the rear corners of the trailer, just forward of the bumper. I've used a 9-foot long sunroof drain cleaning tool to clear any obstruction on the street/driver's side of the trailer, but it is not long enough for the curb/passenger side. If I'm leaning right, the condensate will drain down the side instead of the drain tube. I need to try a longer string trimmer to clear that side.

I have the same issue. When I had my OE2 in for service at the factory Jason told me that the drain pan on the Truma is very shallow and can easily overflow at the front without flowing out the drain line. Note Truma manual states operation at an incline of over 4% can cause damage to the unit due to running the compressor dry.

That is correct. Keeping our trailer level is a high priority. 👍🏻 During this trip we have been using the Beech Lane leveling system. It works excellent.

I just installed a LevelMate Pro myself, pretty handy.

We have used our Beech Lane at every stop this trip. Not bad for $80 and it has been dead on. Handy for sure!
