A hundred net points to Jim Reeve for correctly diagnosing my moisture problem. I, too had some compost in the bottom of the casing. I'm not quite as limber as Jim so I don't think I got all of the gunk out. However, after a half hour test, I had no drips and good flow through the drain hose. I also cable-tied the hose along the AC lines outside the frame. This will keep the end of the hose below the bottom of the case, which should improve flow. Although the temps are down here, it is still humid, so I was abel to verify my theory that a closed car will not develop any condensation on the outside of the case (mine never was insulated, by the way). In fact, after leaving the doors open a while and getting some condensation, I closed them and the case dried up. I think my carpets will stay dry for a while.

The entire flat bottom portion and the lower side walls on my unit have a thin piece of foam covering most of each side. This seems to help with most of the condensation. Also, when the AC is on in a closed car, the temp with drop along with the humidity, so interior condensation will be at a minimum. However I too had a clogged drain tube ealier this year. But many of the leaks from it appeard to be condensation, so I was stumped for a little bit. When I figered out it was glogged up it actually took quite a while to get it cleared out. After an unsuscessfull attempt to "suck" the blockage out, I blew it back in. It drained a crapload of water, but clogged back up again the next day. Here is where it is nice to have skinny little arms. I removed the blower fan and the speed resistors, then reached my hand into the evaporator casing. I pulled out a few handloads of crud.
