Slow Leak Bathroom Area (2017 - 26U)

We left Chicago last week and we’ve been camping here in FL for about 7 days. I see a slow leak coming from the bathroom area. It’s just in front of the wheel well on the passenger-side, just below the bathroom area. Any suggestions on how to trouble shoot this on site to determine where the leak is coming from? We are operating on city water and here is a picture of the leak.

Can you inspect the inside of the AS in that area?

Open or remove doors, drawers anything that allows access to start looking. Can't reach or see the area? Cell phone camera is a great look where I can't tool.

And it's not the AC condensate or fridge drains?

Thanks Gary. It’s definitely not the ac condensate....and I thought the refrigerator drain hose was on the drivers side?

I was able to use your idea of sticking the phone under the floor board (behind the shower wall where the table tops are stored) and it’s all dry. So it’s not the shower.

I just looked under the sink and found the the cold water flexible steel connection hose was leaking at the pex fitting. So I replaced it and it seems fine now. I’ll be sure in a few days.

Hopefully that’s all it was. Thanks for your help!

Richz3,

I've put my cell phone in lots of places being my remote eyes.

I do carry a small PEX survival kit but it does not require any special crimpers or special tools. A Channel Lock pliers sets the clamp and a screwdriver opens the clamp. Yes, you'll have to remove the old crimped clamp.

Pexlock https://www.flairit.com/ a couple of clamps and fittings a stick of PEX and you have a PEX field kit w/o any expensive huge tools.

Gary
