Are these drip locations normal? 2 by rear exhaust, 2-3 under middle of truck.

I’d read that there are weep holes in the exhaust. Not sure if this is that or something else.

This is while idling at a campsite yesterday, while ProPowering a trailer at about 1 kW. Moderate/temperate weather.

condensation drains in the exhaust
idling you have less air flow so the water vapor falls out of suspension or is not burned off so it drains out the little holes
normal

Water is a byproduct of combustion. H2 + O2 = H2O + O which often binds to carbon forming CO and CO2.

Gasoline and the air's mix is this
2 C8H18 + 25 O2 → 16 CO2 + 18 H2O
thus for every 2 molecules of gasoline burned, 18 units of water are produced

You can see the holes in the exhaust where it weeps out and is normal.
