Are all water leaks immediately visible?

What if the leak is coming from, for example outside of the bathroom shower area?

We have FC23D, and the bathroom is located in the back. Would we know if water leaks from outside there? I suspect not because shower area wall is water proof material.

Maybe it doesn't matter.... but just curious.

Thanks,

It would be easy to have a small leak that never gets noticed. There are lots of hidden places that are very hard to see or don't get accessed often.
If you're really worried an inexpensive fiber optic camera can help check those really hard to reach places.

Don't have it but this one is on my wish list.

Be forewarned; it can happen that the leak is at the front of the trailer..........it just took the water travelling along the top of the interior sheets of your trailer to find a spot in the back of the trailer to come out.

For example, I had a leak of water that would hit my left elbow as I'm turning right in my Classic motorhome. It had nothing to do with my window seal or marker lamp which is right there. It turn out to be the base of the spotlight, over 4' away.

Cheers
Tony
