Dometic refrigerator condensation in outside refrigerator compartment

[quick83]

For about 5 years now, due to humidity the tube that comes up from the bottle that is carrying the cold ammonia sweats real bad and drips down on the control module and all electrical connections. I covered this area with plastic to divert the water away from electrical parts. I recently insulated this tube. It helped a lot but some condensation is still dripping out from the bottom of the insulation. The first problem 3 years ago from this , was water was getting on the ground and shorted the ground. This is when I covered all electrical with plastic to divert water away. This time the plastic moved and water got in the control module and blew a fuse. I put a much better vinyl cover over electrical and module that will not move. Does anyone else know if they are getting condensation like this? Also Inside my reefer the plastic under the cooling fins has separated from the wall and I was thinking moisture could get behind it, but there is no other Visible moisture in the OUTSIDE compartment except on the tube. I sealed the the plastic under the fins anyways. The drain tray and tube are functioning properly. Any thoughts? Have any of you noticed any condensation in your outside reefer compartment? If you have not looked, please look after it’s been running for a day or so. Let me know what you find. Dometic says not normal but they not know why it would do this. Thanks.

You may consider adding a frig chimney fan in the upper vent area. This would help keep the air moving and things dry.

A day or two after I drove my new trailer home I doing a "clean the sawdust out" task and when I opened the outside cover on the Refrigerator I noticed that the condensate drain tube was just hanging inside instead of passing through the hole in the cover that it's supposed to be in.

I didn't have any condensate or moisture inside but I'm sure if I hadn't replaced it where it belonged I would have.

I guess a lot would also depend on how much humidity one has in their location. There are some parts of the country I've been to where the humidity is so heavy I'm surprised that there aren't fish floating in the air.
