Water leak - Need help.
1992 25’ Excella: We just bought this trailer last fall. I put new brakes on it and packed the wheel bearings, and did a few other small repairs. Then I winterized it according to the Airstream manual (blew out the water system and filled it with antifreeze.) and it sat for the winter. We never even got a chance to test it out on a trip. I just de-winterized the trailer in preparation for our first trip and need some help. After I rinsed out all the antifreeze and pressurized the fresh-water system, I noticed the center of the bathroom floor carpet is wet. With the system pressurized, water also slowly drips from two drain holes in the corners of the belly pan that is under that area of the trailer. The water stops dripping when I de-pressurize the system. I’m assuming a water line under the bathroom is leaking, but I don’t know the best way to access the water lines for a look. I don’t know how these trailers are put together. I have pretty good home-repair skills, but this is our first RV. I’d like to learn to do necessary repairs myself, unless a particular problem is known among Airstream owners to be worth taking to a professional repair shop. Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
