Hi, we have a 1998 Four Winns 278 Vista where the air conditioner syphon is not always working properly resulting in water overflowing the pan and soaking the cushion (2nd bed, under stairs) This is so frustrating! Anyone know how to remedy this? Right now we have 2 microfiber towels positioned between the panel and pan to catch overflow, but in real humid weather the pan still does not drain. We have completely cleaned the drain and hoses. My husband thinks that the hose somehow was rerouted and now does not have the gravity to trigger the syphon properly. Any advice or help is welcome. Thanks You!
I had the same issue on my 2008 278 Vista and I think my problem was a result of mold buildup in the condensate line that goes into the sump. I will from time to time put my shop vac in the sump and suck the line clear. I did find the routing of the condensate line to be very weak and not offer much slope at all from the pan. I was able to tuck mine down ever so slightly and so far the problem has not recurred.
