Water leak

[mant]

Hello again, I posted earlier about a strange noise under my rig, I think that is resolved. Thank you for all the help. I now have another issue. At the corner on my bathroom and bedroom the rug is soaked. I took a panel off the bottom of the shower and it is soaked under there also. I can't see where it is coming from. We are hooked up to city water, I shut that off to see if the pump cycles with everything off. Any ideas where it could be coming from, it hasn't rained all week. I took the shower valve off the wall thinking it might be there.no, Are all the connections buried in the walls and floor? Is there a way to access them without cutting into walls and floors to check for leaks

Found it, cracked tee under the shower. I was at the dealer getting the back up camera replaced and I had them look at it. The tech comes out and says ' under the shower in the corner somewhere, we will have to take the shower surround out to fix it'. I tell him no way that shower is coming out without tearing the whole bathroom apart. He tells me he could get it out no problem. I don't think so, that bathroom was build around the shower enclosure just like some houses, before the walls go up. I told him let me see if I could find it and fix it myself. I went home, took the drawer apart that backs up to the shower, cut a access panel to access the fittings. there was spray foam all around the pipes and fittings (i guess to stop movement) I took all the foam out and there it is, the broken fitting. Hacked it out replaced it with a push in tee . FIXED, 1 hr., shower intact. You think I should foam it again? Thanks for all the help!

One came with the coach, I wonder if its bad?

Just a thought.... I recently went to a park and had a leak because of the water pressure. If you don't have a regulator, try it out. My lines leaked like crazy and I thought I was going to have to do major repairs. With just the pump, no leaks... with regulator.... no leaks..... Worth checking if you don't have one.....

That vacuum break is on the supply side. There is 4 line under the sink 2 to the sink and 1 in and 1 out of the vacuum break. I never overflowed the tank I only filled it to 3/4. I guess I will have to try to follow each line, I don't know how because they are buried behind the drain inside blown insulation under the shower. I guess I could just replace all 4 from where I can access them. That would be a job. I will dry it out and try filling again to see if that was the cause.
I thought my house was unending maintenance.

Where does the over flow line come out when you fill the fresh water tank? Mine has 2 over flow lines that drain through the floor to the ground. How do you tell when your fresh water tank is full? Can you see your fresh water tank? the over flow lines should come out the top of the tank. Could be the over flow is draining onto the floor.

when the source of the leak is difficult to find, I have used dry paper towel in appropriate areas to track it down. I once had a hairline crack in a cold water line I could not get to. One way to solve that problem is to replace enough line where either end is accessible to attach to the existing line.

So I'm still fighting with this water leak. I shut down all the water sources and let everything dry up then started to rule out a few things. I turned on the water pump for a few days, no leak, took a shower and let the water run no leak. The tank was starting to get low so I filled it. I didn't check for a leak right after filling it but the next day the leak was back? Is it possible the tank fill somehow runs under the shower? I did notice under the bathroom sink some kind of what seemed like a vacuum breaker? Is that part of the tank fill? I wish I could see things better but no access. The pipes only run under there for a short distance.

The vacuum break is there for the drain to the sink. Since it appears that the leak MAY have come during the filling of the tank, then I would let the area dry again. Then I would watch the area as you re-fill that tank. There are several connections related to filling the tank and one of them could be leaking.

Nope not the shower pan, the only access I have is a small vent under the shower. I unhooked the city water and left the pump on to see if it cycled with everything closed down and it did after about 1 hr, so I'm thinking a small water leak somewhere? Is there some way to find it without pulling walls apart? My wife will kill me if she sees holes in her new home!

I have a 2006 Holiday Rambler with 7500 miles on it. I thought about the roof and AC units but it hasn't rained and I haven't run the AC. The shower nut I will have to try. I didn't see any water around the nut but It didn't have any weight on it either. I will check with weight on it. That is where the leak is though, all around the bottom of the shower pan.

How about A/C condensation, could it be leaking and traveling?

[FB_Grateful_Dad]

Do you have a washer/dryer? I had a connection loosen behind it once and ended up with wet rug throughout the passenger side of the bedroom.

You will have to look up because water always goes down. It cold be a leak as high as the roof and once the water gets there it has no air circulation to allow evaporation. What kind of MH and age helps.

Mine has an 2 access panels in the bedroom. The lower one allows you to look under the shower pan at the drain connection. The higher one allows you to look at the shower plumbing.
