Basement A/C question about water leak - Flick - 09-02-2012
I left my coach at a friends lake cabin today to run my son to college. I am on my way back right now and my friend called to say when he checked on the coach there was water on the front dash. He shut that front basement A/C unit down. Has anyone had this problem? Is there by chance a frozen pipe or maybe a tube that is supposed to drain the condensation that accumulates that might be clogged?
Looking for suggestions and where to look.

Well, the basement air didn't leak water on the dash, I don't think. No drains up there.
One, the clearance lights on the front cap may have leaked, or you have a leak at the front cap seam. Have you been in rain lately?
Two, you have the AC cranked cold and it's humid in the coach. The front windshield condensed the humiidity. Mine does that in the winter mostly.
Three, do you have a pet? Jusk kidding.

One of the pipes in the overhead above the dash was frozen. It is quite humid but the air had been running fine. Wonder if it ran out of freon.

That's interesting. The 2000 series coaches have basement air but everything is below deck. I had no idea there were refrigerant lines up above in the classic rigs.
Thanks,

A sure sign of low refrigerant pressure is water freezing on the lines. You might want to have the pressures checked by an AC guy.
I am perplexed by the line overhead in the coach. Live and learn.
