Air conditioning drainage

We have a new DX3 and I have noticed running the air conditioning here in Texas that I get a ton of water tickling down the side of the motorhome from the front air conditioner and a little bit seems to trickle down the back corner from the rear. Is this normal? Why would there be more on the front and the rear? Both units are running hard and making cold air. Thanks…

You would have to look at water flow on the roof. It goes to a gutter and the gutter determines flow once its there.

My DX3 is the same. This is my second DX3 and both the same, assuming it’s level. I believe it’s normal.

So some of the condensate from the rear could be joining the front before coming down depending on the level? I’ll get out the big ladder to check it out tomorrow. Thanks for the reply!

Our front seems to put off more water too, probably runs more due to the larger space in the front. We always level with it tilted to the drivers side a little to help run it off the drivers side.
