Question about possible exterior leak or condensation
We have a 2017 Int'l Serenity, and recently (about 3 weeks ago), noticed a small amt of water "sliding" down the copper piping underneath the rig between the gray and black valve. The amt of drip has increased to cause a pooling in the last few days, when the furnace has been running (so basically in the morning). We believe the copper line is attached to propane, but can't tell if leak could be result of something else....like gray/black valve. Thanks in advance for any info

Possibly condensation on the line. Feel the copper. If it’s super cold, it could pull water out of the air and look like a slow leak...

Before you panic.
Was there high humidly during the night when the heat was on/ If so, as mentioned above the cold propane pipe, propane flowing to the heater, could have condensed water from the air.
We are assuming it was not raining when this happened.

Thanks for the responses. Unfortunately, the leak has grown, and is now "puddling/dripping" under the aluminum cover (towards the hitch), so we are taking it in to service. What a hassle...3rd time in our first year that a weird, big deal thing happens to our 2017 Airstream while on a long road trip.

Out of curiosity do you have any pictures of where this leak is?
Also, any chance you might have had a frozen pipe or something?
