Fresh Water Leaking From Hand Tightened Fittings

We have a 2017 26U FC. I am having trouble with the hand tightened plumbing fittings for the fresh water system. Underneath our tall wardrobe compartment there are at least 4 of these fittings. During our 2nd trip out water migrated underneath the cabinet walls soaking my wife's clothes. Since then every stop I have to crawl on the floor and, flashlight in hand, re-tighten all the fittings. It's under warranty and I've had it back to the dealer twice. Once they tightened them, second they put new cone washers in....still same problem. Sorry for the long explanation. Has anybody out there experienced this problem? I want to be able to "enlighten" the dealer as to a fix if he tells me that that's all they can do. I'm going to contact Airstream Monday and see if they have a "recall" or at least another option for these fittings. Thanks for any help!!! This is getting annoying.

Unfortunately we had the same problem on our 2017 26U at one of these fittings in the bathroom. It badly stained the vinyl floor before we found the problem which required complete replacement. I have seen 3 others on the forum with similar issues and one at the same fitting in the bathroom.
We now have a new trailer.
