The condenser fan spins into the pool of condensate and “slings” the condensate onto the condenser coil.
It does this for efficiency, but it can be noisy and there is no control of the water once it gets thrown onto and through the condenser coil.
If you want a drain, you’ll need to drill a hole in the lowered portion of the floor pan. Just be sure to not drill into the coils or refrigerant lines.

Thanks,
Harry

Harry, that is the way my AC was also. If you decide to put drain in, be careful as mentioned. I put one in because I did not like the noise and also, being in a high humidity state, the water may not evaporate quick enough to keep up and I do not want leaking in the trailer. Hanging out a window, it would not matter if it overflowed....
