"Why does A/C condensation drip from my front cap?" you ask.

[Mr. Dan]

See evidence:


Here's the answer:


Pitiful caulk job. I don't know why they ran the good caulk to within a foot of the edge and switched to the curly queue type of hit or miss caulk over to the edge. I can see spots they missed with their caulk gun. This caulking phenomenon occurs on both sides of the cap.

Wow that's pretty amazing

Still, on a Wildcat, don't you have gutters?

Yes, I do. This pic is of the top of the trailer (you can see grass on the ground in the upper right corner of the pic). Condensation is running forward from the front A/C, under the caulk trail on the rightmost edge of the trailer roof and into the front cap before it gets over the edge and into the gutter.

I have the same issue. I make sure the Wildcat sits nose high in campgrounds so the condensation runs off the back.

scrape all the crap off and start over with a nice bead. With trailer level it should run off the back. A/C is on the back of the hump on my 27'er

[Mr. Dan]

Mine would REALLY have to sit nose high for the water to run off the back. My front unit is slightly in front of the hump on my 295RSX.

With that slope towards the front I don't know where else the water would run.

Right. We're back to the real issue: bad caulk should be replaced by good caulk as was suggested above.
At least today it's draining off the left front where the caulk job is better.
