" ...it started dripping again.� So I switched it off."

�
On my '87 Westy the A/C is sometimes marginal and needs a periodic recharge but there has never been a dripping problem, though the PO told me she did have this problem and her brother fixed it.
�
When I had the cabinets out for soundproofing I found that he had strapped the drip tray up under the evaporator using two pieces of perforated metal strap that loop under the tray to support it and�they are�screwed to the ceiling.� With this change�the drip hoses run "downhill" toward the vents and he�also cut slots in the cabinet sides so the hoses�could run at a steeper angle down to the left and right sides. This seems to prevent puddling and tray overflow.� I have not seen the Vanagon A/C setup�in an original configuration, but this one certainly seems to work.� Three years and zero drips.
