Fresh water leak
I have a 2010 Lexington GTS 25 feet. I have water coming out from under the shower. I found if I don't connect the city water and only use the water pump as needed the leak is less. If I leave the water pump on I will have some water coming out from under the wall. I have no idea how to get to where I can see what might be leaking. I do not see a removal able panel at the shower so I can take a look. I keep my water shut off to prevent as much leaking as I can until I can figure out what to do.

I had to replace my shower walls in my 2006 255DS. Just a guess, but the connections at the faucet seem likely. To complete mine, I had to cut an access hole next to my control panel. If you unscrew the control panel you may be able to see there.
Here is my access hole: https://flic.kr/p/thDnDs

It is probably city water filling your freshwater tank. Probably a bad check valve in the water pump. Very common problem . . . many threads on this.

Happened to me, replaced the water pump, problem solved. I also had water coming out from under the wall.

Fresh water leak found and repaired
My leaks were triple items. After the mention of the city water leak, lifted the bed and found just a drip there, Tighten the nut and cleared that leak. Then removed the shower access and found a drip there. Tighten that nut and cleared that drip. But the biggest leak was my toilet. Finally found a new base at a decent price on ebay, ordered it and installed. Tighten down all nut connections as I went and the water leak has stopped!!!!! Of course somehow didn't get the gasket set quite right when putting the bowl on the base so the gasket is not holding water in the bowl. Will have to go back and remove bowl and reset the gasket to correct that problem. Thanks so much for all your suggestions. Now I know where to look in the future if I have a leak.

I go through our RV once a year and check tightness of everything I can find. Suspension, plumbing, electrical, body, etc....

X2.
This should become part of every R/V owners routine.
