Water leaking from tub into underbelly

2nd time out in our new to us 2011 Palomino Sabre. Today wife was taken a shower and I was outside when I heard water tripping rapidly. It cam directly from underneath the camper. It was dripping & sagging from where the previous owner (or someone he hired) cut then taped a section of the underbelly (I know i should have looked prior to buying).

I am thinking the grey tank had filled up and some connection or something worked loose. I am also thinking at least 4-5 showers were taken since I last dumped. Anyway regardless of my stupidity I have a problem. I will be asking the previous owner this week what problem he had prior.

Ok what or how do I tackle this?

  • I wouldn't want to let it get wet all the time. But, I suspect occasionally should't hurt much.

    Maybe others will chime in. I am not real sure what all may be in there...
  • That was my first thought. I can just keep that valve open. So anything I need to worry about? It was not a great amount of water and the belly is not full noe.
  • My 2014 Heartland will do that if the water backs into the shower pan. I didn't think it was right. But, I had the dealer check it - said it was normal.

    Well, I called the factory and was told they use some sort of "soft" connection and the water can push past it. They said some techs try to glue it and make a Solid connection and that can make problems with things breaking.

    They suggeted, not letting the grey tank overfill......
