I have a 2005 Alfa see ya 5th wheel. Today I was replacing the city water inlet because the check value was bad....i untwisted the old one and when I let go to turn around to grab the new one, the water line went up into (lord only knows where) and I cannot see it nor reach it to twist the new part on ????????. First off.....why would they have it like that???? And 2nd, how on earth would I get to it now??????

Is there any kind of panel on the inside of the RV that you can remove to access the connection? Often it just blends in but has a few screws holding a hidden "door" someplace. Or maybe it's behind something - whats on the other side of the wall?

If there's enough room, stick your smartphone in the hole and take a picture to see if you can locate the pipe.

On the other side of the wall there is an access panel under the pantry but I didn’t see the water line in it. Behind that panel is the shower. It seems like it’s in between that panel and the shower wall with no access to it.. ??

I’ll try in the morning to stick my phone up in the hole a take a pic! I didn’t even think about trying that! Thanks

If all else fails, I see Amazon has a borescope that projects an image on your cellphone for $20 with a 4.9 rating. At that price and rating, I may have to add one to my toolbox.https://www.amazon.com/ILIHOME-Endoscope-Semi-Rigid-Inspection-Waterproof/dp/B081ZZS13W

If you have to cut a piece out of a panel to access the tubing, there are some spring loaded access panel covers available that don't look too bad.

Might not look so good in the shower wall, though. ;)

I have one, works great. It works with an app on your phone. I've used it for all kinds of stuff including chasing down plumbing issues. Saves a lot of time and money from not having to put holes in the wall.

They probably installed it and then installed the interior walls and shower stall.
