Dean,
This is VERY normal. And the more humid the area you live in the more normal it will be!

I think this subject has also been discussed a few times. You might want to do a search on it too.

Very normal. It has to drain somewhere, hopefully not where you're standing!

Very Normal! If it isn't draining then you have a big problem.

Yes it's normal. The water has to go somewhere and I'm glad it runs off.

OK, thanks for the quick replies. I was aware that water needed to drain from the AC but was wondering if there was a drain pipe plugged. Coming off the roof surprised us a bit. We are on our second trip with the 3400RL and didn't use the AC much, other than testing, on the first trip so all is new in this regard. Does keep things nice and cool though and that is good! :-)

You might consider using clothespins at the corners of your Monty to prevent the black streaks from the run off.

While the clothesline pins would work, Camping World sells gutter extension for the same purpose and they look a little better. Cost about $8 for a set of four.

Dean,
The gutter extentions really work well, and keeps the water off of the side of the rigs that you can get from the A/C and just the good ole Washington state Rain too!
