Default ff 160 air conditioner drain

I ran my AC in hot humid weather for several hours and did not see any condensation water draining anywhere. This is a 2009 model. Any ideas about where the condensation is going? The AC works great as far as cooling is concerned.

On my 2012 XT 276 the A/C condensation water runs out on the roof.

I set the drivers side front corner a tad low so the water will drain off from that corner of the roof....not where we walk in the pass side front corner near the door nor the rear where the ramp is to load/unload the motorcycle.

I don't know of any other place for the A/C condensation water to drain off to other than on the roof ??

We met a guy at the local store who was towing a FF a bit larger than ours. I don't remember the year (2007?), but when we asked him how he likes it he said he only has one complaint. He said the weight of his airconditioner has bowed his roof and water collects around it. ��

Our previous FF was a 2006 189 FD with an A/C unit. The flat roof definitely bowed downward toward the heavy unit and I always stored the trailer with the front titled down for run-off from the infrequent rain here in SoCal. Never had a leak problem. But once I discovered that CruiserRV started selling units with crowned roofs (like many companies had done for years) we bought our 2012. Now drainage problems are not a factor.

Ahah!! His might have been a 2006. So it was a common problem evidently. But not fatal.

Mine has a crowned roof so no puddles form.

Seems like they cured it by 2008. It was longer than ours as well.
