I have a CruisAir A/C. The condensate pan is plastic or composite but even it drains from the side. I think they design them that way because more often than not, the pan sits on a flat surface.
Anyway, I almost cringe to suggest this but what about some of that crazy rubber stuff they advertise on TV? The commercial where they make a boat out of screen and coat it with the rubbery stuff?
