Still have a leak somewhere. looks like I many have to remove all the under carriage covers, all I see is a puddle forming in the area around the hot and cold drain lines. but those lines are not leaking.


I have managed to go 4 days between dumps though, so sensors appear to be working properly now.

as far as water, I worked it out with the homeowners to run a pex-line up the side of the home, hide it inside of the rain gutter and then down the back side of my trailer. all "temporary" basically, and they want me to turn off the water to the trailer anytime I am not actually in the trailer, but for now have city water connected instead of fill the tanks every few days.
 
Well I found the final leak. The inlet to the toilet foot pump. Under the rig. Had to remove all the under covers to trace it. They was a 90 degree elbow where the pex crimps were leaking.

That makes 22 points where the manufacturer did not properly crimp the water lines. There is no way this was a result of the previous owner and I strongly suspect it is why he sold/traded the trailer.

It’s a good thing I’m a handy DIY kinda of guy. This would have cost me thousands in labor at a dealer.


Been 4 days with no puddles under the trailer and fresh tank usage is 5-6 days now. Grey and black are 4 days when sensor says full but I pushed it to 6 days until the shower backed up.
