Hello All.
Came across your forum while looking for some solutions to my Motor Home. I have a 2006 Coachman Freedom that I have owned for about 2 years now. Last winter while driving to Washington State through some of the worst storms ever in northern CA and Oregon, I noticed a major leak in my Passenger storage under the unit. Also had a leak between the toilet and the shower stall, water flowing between the two.
Well, found the major leak in the storage compartment, about a 2" gap between the outer wall and the frame, going to foam seal that one.
Now to my question. I just returned from San Diego, took the kids and a friend and his kids to Sea World, great trip, and while I was giving my little one a shower in the RV I was amazed when I noticed a large puddle of water gathering around the base of the shower, on the outer floor. I quickly stepped outside and opened my grey water tank and noticed that I had water running/dripping/flowing off of the outside wall. I opened the grey water valve and cleaned up the water and then went back to finish my son's shower. I started again and ended up with water all over the floor, again and the water was still dripping/flowing off of the outside wall of the RV.
I drained my grey and black water tanks before I left the grounds today and the only thing that happened was my dump line came off of the fitting and creating a spill that the campsite quickly took care of for us. Other than that, no problems.
The Shower was not backing up and the only access I have for the plumbing did not show a leak. If anyone could give my any clues on what to look for or where to look for it please let me know. I have only taken a few trips but other than the Washington trip I have not had any problems. Well, I know that water is the weakness for a motor home and I am getting very discouraged since this will not be covered under my extended warranty and I want to be able to shower in my own RV.
Thanks again.
Matt
