Good customer service response from Northwood
I recently installed a leak detction system in my trailer, placing detectors under every plumbing area. Took a while fishing the wires, etc, but it works well. First trip out it detected 3 leaks: ...

I just discovered the trap under my shower is loose as well. Just wet the insulation under there slightly. I suspect this is due more to road vibration, not sloppy workmanship. In my case the trap consists of a compression fitting on the drain with a screw fitting to the pipe and it hangs inside a well over the insulation. The compression fitting had dropped down. I pushed it back up and tightened, and this time I put foam board insulation under the trap so it is supported form below and can't slip down again.
Obviously the shower trap is one item that should be inspected every now & again.
I have a normally open solenoid valve arriving next week. i will be using that on my city water inline at the hose and hooking it into my leak detection system. Since my city water is right next to the power cord storage i will rig it up externally and power it with a 2 prong trailer plug.
I now have 12 sensors throughout the trailer, all of which will shut down my internal pump. The outside city water solenoid is the last addition to ensure I have no flowing water if any of my plumbing leaks. Since all the sensors are daisy chained, i have installed a switch 1/2 way along so if i do have a leak, i can isolate which half its in.
