Question Unsolvable Leak.

[Gronk]

OK, lets get into it..... Where in relation to the wet area is your water hook up and water heater? Is the bathroom/shower close to the wet area? Is it always wet or does it seem to dry out once in a while? When there is rain does it seem to be worse? How about when showering?

The shower/bathroom is not near the wet area.
Also, it never seems to dry up at all, I have to have towels down there at all times.. Today checking the towels where the wet area is at (for a couple days, that's how often I check the towels/switch them out) they were completely/mostly soaked. I think it's rained off and on the past couple days but I believe only only light rain...
It's actually near it I believe. The water heater is underneath the couch, and the water hook up is right on the outside of the trailer exactly where the water heater is in on the inside, the water seeps up from the bottom baseboard of the couch (also the side wall as well, where the water hook up is I believe). Also noticed water seeping in from other spots underneath the couch where the water heater is at but wasn't able to figure out where.
I hope that makes sense to you.
I'm not sure about showering. I would have to shower then check it after. We have very limited hot water (since our propane doesn't work) so we take quick showers.

OK, now are you able to shut the water off for a while and see if the wetness gets better? It sounds to me like either the water hook up is leaking, or there is a leak at the water heater. Either way, you need to access the underside and see what is going on. All you are doing right now is contributing to the demise of your trailer.

Yes, we will try that tomorrow see if the wetness gets better or dries a bit. But how would we tell if it is the water hook up that is leaking? I know I am asking a lot of questions. We are literally just trying to figure out this leak and fix it. That's our goal. We've taken a look at the water heater, notice that's where we see the lots of water even right after drying it before looking at it, but it's hard to get a good angle of looking at it, from it being underneath the couch and not much access.

The way to figure out what is going on is to be able to physically look at the water lines meaning you need to gain access to the city hook up and the water heater.

Hi,
So me and my fiance live in a 2002 Sunnybrook Lite Travel Trailer its pretty worn down old, it has its leaks which we've normally been able to solve and fix. But for the life of us we can't figure out this one. I need some help with this one

So underneath the couch & outside of the couch and by the wall there has been water seeping up the floor (what I would describe, kinda of hard to) it's enough to soak up a towel. The water heater is underneath the couch, so I'm think that might be a possibility. But even if it is not sure how we would get to it since it's underneath the couch. It's enough water to cause water damage on the wood. We also have a leaky kitchen sink that sprays water when in use if that's any help.

Any ideas on how to figure this out so we can stop this leak would be wonderful. We are absolutely stumped!

Hi everyone, replying to my own thread about the leak. We are pretty sure we might have solved this leak! My fiance ordered a couple trailer parts, and when they get here replace those as we think these old parts to the trailer are causing the leak. Fingers crossed.

So, what parts were ordered? Most any plumbing part can be picked up at a local haardware store.

I'm not sure exactly what parts they are and what they are called, my fiance ordered them I know the water hose connects to them and they are on the outside of the trailer.
