2022 sabre 38DBQ leaking through floor

Full time in the RV and we recently moved to a new campground and the pantry has had water coming up through the floor. I have looked at everything i can including cutting into some walls and it is NOT leaking from anything above. Does any one have similar problems or tips for dropping the belly pan?

My belly pan was plastic cardboard that was installed with nails driven by a bullet so the nails go into the frame.

To remove the nails, use a cats claw and tap a hammer so the nail pries out. It is not easy and if the nail breaks, it’s a pain to get out by drilling a broken nail out of the frame. I replace the nail with a metal self tapping screw. I need to drill the hole slightly bigger to make room for the screw.

Consider cutting underneath the leak and sticking a cam in. My guess is it’s a pipe going into one of the black, gray, or fresh water tanks. There is RV underbelly tape, but that does not work for me and I find gorilla tape batter.

Check under the showers. They should have access panels in the front next to the floor. Our pipes came loose as we drove and since the pipes are basically at or above floor level, the water leaked onto the floor.

If the fridge has an icemaker and the water connection isn't tight, that could be the cause. Pull the fridge out and check it to be sure.
