Refrigerator: Water drip inside

Since we got our coach water keeps dripping off of the fins and on to the food and over time settles on the bottom.
I tried changing the setting from 1 to 5.
I moved that little plastic sleeve up and down the fin.
It still leaks.
It happens with or with food inside.
The climate control switch in the freezer is on.
Any thoughts?

It sounds like the fridge is not level.  The condensation should drip back to be caught by the tray under the fins.  Do you have a picture for clarity?

Correct, the plastic tray under the fins should catch it, then out the condensate drain to the outside access area.

We had the same issue.  We watched where the water was dripping from, and realized the drip tray wasn't tight enough to the back wall, so we used white duck tape to hold it tight against the wall.  Seems to work great!!  We have not had any water drips in the fridge since.  ^.^d

Unfortunately your drip tray is missing.

Check with any RV shop that replaces refrigerators.  That is a non-wearing part that you should be able to get from an old/dead refrigerator.
