The AC has condensation on the sides and top which makes me think for some reason the AC is throwing water out of the sides/top and it's not being caught by the pan. I'm at a loss here on what to do. Any suggestions?

I had a 2016 17 foot mini with the same air conditioner set up. Whatever you do, don't try to drill a drain hole in that pan. I ended up going to Lowe's and buying a new air conditioner.
Initially I thought a window A/C was a great idea - very economical. I soon figured out it was only a good idea on paper. My unit was behind a corner so I had to put a fan on the kitchen counter to blow cool air up toward the front of the camper. And condensate drainage was a real problem.
I ended up taking the A/C out and installing flashing in the opening. I used aluminum duct tape to seal all the seams and basically made a wall to wall tray that covered the walls up to the top of the A/C. All the condensate that splashed out - especially while going down the road - was then directed out of the vent in the outside wall.
It cured that big water puddle I used to find in the floor whenever we went anywhere. It was still working when I sold the camper three years later.
