IT SOUNDS LIKE THE DRAIN HOLES IN THE EVAPORATOR COIL PAN ARE BLOCKED. YOU WILL HAVE TO REMOVE THE SHROUD ON THE ROOF AND CHECK THE DRAIN PAN UNDER THE EVAP. COIL. ALLSO LOOK FOR CRACKS IN THE PAN. YOU PROBLE WILL FIND THAT THE HOLES ARE BLOCKED WHEN SOME ONE TRIED TO RESEAL THE AC. HAL

Check the drain holes first. With the shroud off look about 1/4 way back from front of unit on bottom edge, each side, of pan for drain holes. If not plugged then check for crack or rust holes in the bottom pan between roof and inside of the gasket. Best way to find this is inside the coach. Remove the cover & metal plentium (sp), now run the air long enough for condensation to build up. Watch, from inside, for water seeping in around gasket. I had a rust leak that I searched for from roof for most of one summer. Finally did the inside thing & found the problem, actually was just about to buy a new unit.
