Hooked water up and have LEAKS inside,

[Whereswaldo]

Howdy please anyone help me. We hooked up camper to water in the RV park and we have leaks in the bathroom (behind toilet) and under kitchen sink area. Any help of where to start is welcome!

Cold in Georgia,

Are you using a pressure regulator? Could be due to high water pressure.

Hopefully u didnt freeze anything? ..if the leaks are at the fittings maybe you can tighten?..teflon tape em?...where exactly is it leaking from?

Yes have one of those. But we had very cold weather here and husband and I think we may have had ice in the lines😂

Yes we think we did. Leaked under camper on the side with water pump and hot water heater. Plus the connection to toilet was busted. But can't figure out where water is coming from under kitchen sink. We are worried we did something horrible and going to cost a lot of money. We don't know where to trouble shoot from. Any suggestions so we cover all parts?

Dry everything as best u can and just start digging and looking...remember water travels so where the puddle is may not be where the leak is....u just gotta get in there as best u can and find it...I know it stinks but it is what it is....let us know if we can help!

You have water under the camper? Did you winterize your camper or put it away with water in the lines?

And it has to be coming from the pressurized side...more than likely in the pump area.m

We'll not now we turn off the water hose when we realized what was happening. But it was leaking from right side of camper. NO winterize DAMN IT ALL! We had put it away with water in the lines. Kicking ourselves!!!

ouch....dont feel too bad your not the first one.....

hopefully you will find it is easily repairable parts.....the pex lines are pretty forgiving and dont usually bust.....its usually the hard fittings on the ends or something inside the pump....

Finding leaks can be difficult because water will always take the path of least resistance. To trouble shoot, use process of elimination, isolating different fixtures. You can bend and kink pex pipe to shut off a line. Just tape the kink so it won't un bend. Home stores sell all fittings and tool for crimping

OK,now drain the W/H,and the low point drains. Hook up a Air Compresser (20psi) to your city water fill.Now you can hear where the (Leaks) are. You are not the only Member with (Freeze)issues there will be (Many) more when they take their units out this Spring! Have you ever heard(It don't get that Cold Here!)? Youroo!!

I also developed a leak happened during this cold spell just went through this week. We are camping in Pensacola NAS. Had two nights of hard freeze the next day seen ice around my low point drains and dipping at the inspection plate above the bathroom drain pipe. open all that up and put a bucket under it. It's clear water so I know it's not the holding tank or drain line. Today was the really first warm day got to 60 degrees so should melt all the ice and maybe I can find it, so don't feel like the lone ranger. I will see how much water I collected in 24hrs then at least I'll know of the size i'm looking for. Good idea youroo I think I might give that a try today also........
