We got our popup used about a month ago.

Every time we turn on the AC water starts to drip inside the camper. Any ideas?

Also last time we took it the 3 way fridge worked. It was on storage for about 2 weeks and this time when I hit the green switch for the fridge it would trip my GFI. Any ideas on that also?

There's a drain on the a/c Matt. I'm sure some people on here know where to unclog it. As for the 3 way fridge I have no idea. Why did I even post this?:confused3

I will pull the fridge and look at it tommrow. I am hoping it may just be a bad wire. :confused3

Take the cover off the A/C. Around the inside bottom of the A/C there are drain holes which get clogged on occasion with mildew, leaves and other junk. When they clog, the water drips into the inside of the unit instead of outside onto the roof. Unclog the drain holes and you should be fine.

The electrical could just be a bad GFI. I would start buy replacing the GFI. If that does not work then I can't help you any longer.

I took the white cover off and then had to take the metal cover too. After I took the whole thing apart I was able to take out the drip tray. Looks like the old owner never cleaned it in 6 years. Tigg was washing it out in the sink for 10 mins. :scared:

I took out the fridge and it worked, when I put it back in and hooked up the LPG line it started to trip the breakers again. Maybe I have a bad ground or somthing. I will look at it more later.

If the fridge trips the GFI while running on AC you may have a bad heating element.

sounds funny, heating element on a fridge. We may just buy a dorm fridge since the one on the camper is really too small anyway.
