I forgot to mention. There is a FLOOD test that is done when you PDI(pre delivery inspection) of any RV when sold. That involves filling the Gray and Black tanks overfull until water stands in the shower and water stands in the down pipe of the toilet. There should BE NO LEAKAGE of water. If there is the system is not water/air tight and must be fixed. SO, if the OP had water flowing underneath onto the ground, his system is not up to spec and this means it is not air tight to prevent sewage odors from getting into the interior or outside. Doug
My rig will fail the test!
We have a vanity on the full wall slide. The drain line on the slide slips inside the pipe on the rig. It's not a water tight seal and will dribble IF the gray tank gets too full.
AND, that will allow tank odors to migrate to the Interior of the RV. More so in transit, rather than camped. Doug
