My 91 Pace Arrow on the P30 Chassis has developed a leak. The carpet in the hallway gets soaked, and I cannot find the source. I'm thinking possibly the toilet. The carpet between the bathroom wall and hall is not wet, but it is about 6'' away from the wall. I cannot check underneath, as the fuel tank blocks the area. To minimize the soakage, I only use the fresh water tank for water, and turn off the pump, and release pressure each time I need to use water, but it still stays wet.

You might be able to get a better idea of where it is the wettest with a roll of paper towel and a piece of plywood. Put the towels down over the wet spot, and then cover the area with the plywood for a few seconds. When you lift the plywood, the water will have soaked up most where it is wettest.

Check faucet connections under your sinks, toilet water line connections including sprayer if so equipped. Got a dog? :B

You can check the toilet by putting a paper towel under the foot pedal then hold the foot pedal down and see if the towel is wet. This would indicate the water valve is leaking and is easily replaced.

May be the water heater leaking. Mine caused a wet spot you described. A plastic fitting cracked, and that was enough.PITA to R&R, but a cheap fix.

All good suggestions, but the place where it is leaking is in the hallway, dead center. The toilet is about 3' away from the wet spot, and there is a wall between the toilet and the hall. I'm thinking it may be the feed line to the toilet leaking. I wish Pace Arrow had a plumbing routing guide for the vehicle. If I can, I'll try to post pics of the area to give a better idea. Also, anyone have any experience changing out a toilet? Looking for replacing ours with one that will not cut off my family jewels when I sit on it. The seat is made for a child, I swear.
