Mark B Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Is it draining off of your roof? If you take off or open the air intake on your ceiling you can see the drains if they are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Hutto Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I can confirm the 2006 Diplomat does not have drain tubes, so I suspect the 2005 would not, either.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLynes Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) If anyone is curious, the LaPalma does NOT have them either. I was curious about this, after going up on the roof several weeks ago, and noticing that I was leaving somewhat muddy tracks on our white aluminum roof. I suppose Monaco figured that it was easier for the water to shed off of a radius roof, than it is to take the risk of a drain tube clogging, which makes sense. Funny enough, our 1976 Monaco Winchester (Class C) DID have a drain tube, and it was clogged when we bought it.

Guest Ray Davis Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 It was probably a way of cutting costs and reserving the drains as an upgrade for the more expensive coaches. JMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, those of us that have internal roof drains, also have the condensate run off the roof when we are using them in heat pump mode! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve P Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 2008 Knight drains across the roof too and drips off the front and rear of a drain channel that is created as part of the topper assembly. Made streaks down the side of the coach until I used an adhesive caulk to secure a couple Camco drain spouts front and rear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandick66 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 My 2012 Diplomat has the drain tubes. One of them is missing the “duckbill” on the end. I’ve looked for replacements, but it seems like either the cost or shipping is ridiculously expensive. I need to google and find a source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lake49068 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Surprising that HR/Monaco designs were so different year to year and model to model. Owned a '98 Endeavor and now a '10 Neptune and both had/have drain tubing. Also couldn't find duck bill outlets but plastic garden hose screens can be attached to the outlet to prevent bugs from entering/nesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmw188 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) My 02 Windsor PST has two units and both have drain hoses. If yours have them and water is running off the roof they could be clogged or you are out of level enough keep it from running to the drain tube.
