is the hose attached as it should be to the drain
was it / is it a humid day?
mmmmmmm sorry, cannot think of anything else at the moment
Same thing happened at chrissy very humid day in qld had it set at 18 fan on first setting turned temp to 22 fan on 2 setting no more water in side if u still have the trauma booklet have a read it says in there hope this helps
Thanks for quick reply. We are set up at moment(annexe etc) so checking drain hose not possible but will when we get home. Thanks col.
I had to remove filters and the inside cover(power off/6 cap screws/ watch the short cables) borrowed a blow drier and went to work. Got unit going again and as jamcor recommended have run it on slow fan speed and have not had a drama. So hot 40 degree days and high fan speeds(auto setting) don't mix. Thanks enjoying pandas down under

Hi,
If it's a Truma Avent, ours did the same thing. We found ours was not fitted square from the factory and had shifted, allowing the water to come in from the roof through the air-conditioner and onto the floor. We aligned it and never has a issue again. Also check the 2 drain holes don't have anything in them. They are located on each side at the front of the unit on the roof. Wasps, bugs and spiders will block or restrict these drains. On really humid days, you will get some condensation on the inside.
You can also remove the inside cover by removing 6 Allen key bolts to get a good look at the allignment. You will need to disconnect the connector for the base unit after removing the 6 bolts to remove the bottom cover.
Once removed you can also see if there is anything on the condenser causing water to come in.
Cheers
Nick
