It is a Camco water filter with hose. It's indoor/outdoor and fit in our docking station area so we hooked it up there on the last trip. The docking station is an enclosed area on our trailer but I suppose it was possible to have spewed up the line and run down into the basement. That is the only thing I can think of because NONE of the plumbing seems to be leaking. We examined everything. Crawled up in there and followed all plumbing while it was running to it's respective location of service. No drains, no incoming lines...nothing shows to be leaking. The black tank flush was not hooked up to water (separate outlet) when the water was noticed in the basement so I really do not believe that could be the problem. Also, when we ran the tank flush after already noticing the water, we watched the lines to verify nothing was dripping anywhere. That was during our initial inspection while still at campsite. I do know that DH did not get the hose tight enough to the filter and we noticed a little water on the ground when leaving to go the store that first day. We weren't going to be gone but a few minutes so decided we'd check it out when we got back. I wish we would have looked in the basement then so I would be able to quit guessing and worrying about it but we didn't. Just tightened the hose and assumed all was well (it no longer leaked...so we the ought). The next time we got on that side of the basement was when we were getting ready to leave a few days later. None of the plumbing was wet at the time and we couldn't trace the leak. Waited till we got home to try and find it but can't find anything. It remains a mystery.
