AC line condensation/wet?
Took a 4 hour trip to california and noticed this line was wet. Anyone know if this is normal?

It is normal, that is the low pressure line which gets very cold so condensation forms.

Its also the reason you can see water dripping or puddles under a car in the summer after it has come to a stop
