suspected fresh or gray tank leak, remove or cut underbelly?
I'm in the process of debugging a suspected leak in the fresh or gray tank in my 30' travel trailer.
I've got the pump on and haven't seen any leaks. I've filled the lines with city water and no issues of a leak either. The pump from the fresh tank isn't cycling either.
I've since put red food coloring in the gray tank and blue food coloring in the fresh tank. I've only seen the leak after moving the TT, so there's a chance the leak is at the top of either tank. I plan on moving the TT tomorrow, so I'll see what color comes out then.
Once I figure out the source, does anyone recommend either removing the underbelly screws or cutting the underbelly around the (guessing) tank locations? If there are good online threads or videos showing how to remove the cheap cardboard type underbelly, let me know because I have yet to find much on this topic online or here.
TIA, let me know if any questions. I'd like to try to address this myself with over a month wait at my local RV repair place to have it looked at there (should I not figure this out on my own first).
