Front Air Conditioner Drain problem

[Jeff Miller]

BB routed the condensation water from roof A/Cs on PT coaches
through tubes leading down from the roof, I believe starting with the
WLWB.

The Intertherm is a unique piece, really nice units except for the
drop-open door over the controls ;~)

Intertherm parts are no longer available, take good care of your unit
and shrouds. If one of yours dies, and has a good shroud, save the
shroud for your other unit or another BB owner.
