AC Drains down rear corner

Hi all,
I have a 2016 Montana HC 370BR and noticed that the rear AC is pooling water at the rear corner of the rig and instead of draining down the side and into the gutter it is draining down the corner of the camper. The water is not visible all the way down. It seems to be running down the inside of the metal and rubber on the corner of the rig. I then drains at the bottom.
My question, is that normal as my previous campers all drained over the side into the gutter.
I don't want to find out it is getting in behind the corner seal and causing problems later.
Thanks to you all in advance for any suggestions.

It's normal for A/C to drain onto the roof, and if your worried about it pooling in the corner I would just inspect the seams often.

Angle of the roof, level of the RV will affect where the water flows.

Hey Chuckster

My concern is how the water seems to run in behind the seal running along the back corner (the one that runs vertical). It then reappears at the bottom of the seal. Any ideas to stop where the water runs?

Would need a photo to know what you're seeing,but I've seen folks make a bead of Dicor diagonally across the roof like a little water channel to make the water go where they want. Seemed kinda overkill to me, but can be done.

By the way, if you get water running off of both sides you know you got the rig really really level. Hahaha.

Sounds like you need to seal where the water is going so that it will have to go to the gutter.
