Subject:'85 Westy A/C Drain problem
From:David Boan
Date:Mon, 23 Aug 2004 22:26:17 -0400

The condensation from the A/C in my '85 Westy just stopped draining
properly.  After running the A/C this week I discovered water running out
from the side panel and saturating the rear cushion as well as the
insulation behind the right rear panel.  My problem is I cannot find where
the drain tube is supposed to go.  I pulled out the existing tube, which was
about 4" long and went into the side panel just behind the rear side window.
Some messages in the archive suggest the drain should go out the rear vent,
but there is no drain tube there and no opening the tube could go through. I
tried pushing through wires but no success, I could not see where they would
come out. Does anyone know how to replace this tube?  It is an after market
unit I had the dealer install when I bought the van new in '85.  This is the
first problem I have had with it.

Thanks for any suggestions..
