Dometic fridge has condensation around the trim edge and drips from the bottom. The water is not coming from the inside of the fridge and the roof isn’t leaking either. It’s all condensation and ruining the wood around it. This is only the 5th night I’ve used it. It’s really bad on gas and have to keep a towel down in the floor. Everything outside in the venting looks normal.

We had a similar problem when we started out and it turned out to be the lack of sealing around the door. Do the paper test on the door(s) seals (close the door with a sheet of paper or dollar bill between the seal and the frame, the seal should "grip" the paper). May need to shim to get a tight seal. Also check and make sure door(s) are latching shut. If double door with a swinging baffle in the middle, make sure baffle is swing all the way over when door is shut.John

All the factory drain hoses are intact and where they’re supposed to be. All this condensation is around the front and dripping out the edges. Not coming from the inside, it’s dry. It has me stumped

If I'm reading post #4 correctly, the condensation is on the exterior of the fridge. This would seem to point to point to high relative humidity, warm ambient temperature, and cool surface temperature on the fridge. Might try lowering the humidity with a moister absorber (DampRid for example) or with a dehumidifier.
It still seems strange that you would have condensation on the exterior of the fridge, particularly if the seals are tight. What else it could be is beyond my experience.John
