water leak

[Duke & Coco]

Hi all I have a slow water leak that builds up in the front belly pan. I undo 5-6 screws holding belly pan, dump the water and let it dry out 3-4 days water looks clear like fresh water. I replace the screws and 2 weeks later its full of water again. Checked all fresh water connections in the vanity sink and shower that I can get to. I think it has a leak in the Pex fittings under the coach. Does anyone have any ideas?

Have taken down the service wall? Id also look under the kitchen sink.

Our unit is 2013 36fb and the water leak is in the belly pan from the steps to the front (king pin)

I still wouldn't rule out the kitchen area because the water will travel. Take down the service wall (about a dozen screws) and look around all the connections for leaks. It's a good idea to go buy some pex tools for this reason. I've been lucky enough to re-crimp a clamp before and it worked. Other wise you'll have to pull the leaking clamp off and recrimp it.

I have checked all the water lines I can see. I have even checked after using the tank flush. and in the service area behind the dump valves.

We developed a 'pinhole' leak under the kitchen island. Puddled on the floor. It was from the icemaker tubing, and we did have an install by the dealership of the dishwasher. (could have been a pinked/stressed area)

Is yours possibly leaking from this area but, not above the kitchen floor? Just a suggestion.

Did you take down the service wall in the basement?


Edit: I see now that you said you checked behind the service wall. Do you have a washer/dryer?

[Duke & Coco]

I don't have a washer dryer but it is preped and yes I looked behind the service wall

Our fresh water drain, a 90 degree fitting broke once, might check that for a small crack or leak.

I have never put water in the fresh water tank

Maybe the dealer did

Ok, then it is not that.

[Duke & Coco]

I think there is a water line above the holding tank that's leaking

[Hairfairy]

We did too. Same place.

[Duke & Coco]

what did you do to fix it and what was specifically leaking

[Hairfairy]

The ice maker line had a crimp in it. That made a pin size hole. We cut it out and used a quick connect union. That seemed to fix the problem. The hole in the line was under the kitchen sink, just before it went into the next cabinet. We have been fulltime for two months. As the line began to relax the hole showed up( flooded cabinet)�� I'm so thankful for this forum. We have also been checking out issues that we have seen here.

We had the same problem but under rear belly. Took days to fill up. Got our 38RL back two days ago. Took long time for the service place to find since it was bad located.

Reason was a second leak at the ice machine hose going from the kitchen island to the fridge.

First leak two month ago was from a staple sized small hole in said line, second one last week was a construction thing, the ice maker pipe/hose were slowly scratched open (excuse my bad English) under the unit from the slide out if I understood the service man correct.

Same thing some month ago under the bed for the clothes washer connection. Scuffed off a little every time the slide was used. Construction error and factory have been informed and are changing it as we speak.

Somebody wrote some weeks ago as a reply to my movie, this is going to happen to all of us sooner or later, not a matter if but when. Think he is right.

See my movie posted here at the forum - might help. I feel sure it is one of the two things.

I turned in my RW on the 1st of December for an assortment of gripes; this being one of them. If I have my ice maker on, a few hours later I have a water drip coming from the underbelly of slide where the fridge is located. Because of the leak, there is some, from what I can tell, some minor water damage on the floor directly located beneath the fridge. I should have my RW back the end of the month.

that's were mine is a little different as I don't have a icemaker and my w/d location isn't in a slide
