    Kenworth t660 2012 the box not sure what is it is mounted below the bunk. It must be somthing the runs with the APU and bunk heater. Well, I woke up this morning and it has like a half inch if water in the bottom of it. I'm like nervous a fire could start because of the water. Not sure what to do. Truck is on opti idle and it's 90 degrees out. Somthing new every day.

    Where are the drains located? My bunk doesn't fold up so it's hard to get in there

    Alright I got it. For anyone in the near or far future. Get a long stick, I used the factory antenna CB antenna because I bought new ones. Go to the side where the APU isn't mounted. Look underneath from the back of the cab where the drive shaft comes out. You'll see a rubber hose. In my case I drop of water was coming out like every minute. That's the drain hose that runs from the ac under the bunk. I hit it with the antenna and water started pissing out. Gave it a couple more little wacks, went back in truck all water was gone accept for the stuff that will dry up. Thanks a lot guys!

    My home AC unit is similar in nature of clogging up. My ac guy recommended to take a cap full of bleach and pour it directly down the hole once you get it unclogged monthly. It kills any junk growing and keeps everything smooth for the future.

    YMMV and all, but it sounds eerily similar to what happened with my home unit. May want to ask a shop guy next time you run into one just in case.
