2018 Solitude 310 GK Water Ingression in the storage area
I have noticed some water ingression in the storage area and can't figure out where it is coming from. This has happened twice since purchasing the Camper. HELP
Thanks for all the replies. I have checked all the water connections behind the panel and all is fine. What I did notice, is this water ingress happened after heavy rain storms.Last edited by carlofig; 07-18-2019 at 05:25 AM.

Looks of area to check...
Is it around the doors? From the water system? Which storage area? Pass through or front compartment?
Could be a door seal, could be the actual latch.Steve- Inventory Manager at Tom Schaeffer's RV, Shoemakersville, PA www.tomschaeffers.com

You could also have a loose water pipe connection behind the Nautilus panel. I’d definitely check that by removing the removable access panel in the storage compartment. We haven’t had any problems like that with our 310gk, but did with a prior camper. Not easy to trace the source of water like that. Good luck to you!

If the water isn't concentrated near one of the doors your next most-likely candidates are all in the utility area BEHIND your Nautilus panel. Have you dropped the partition to look in there?
If not, the fabric-covered rear wall in your basement has an angled section. Six screws secure it to the other two panels of the wall. Remove them and the angled piece lifts away to reveal a mess of wires, plumbing, and equipment.
The first places to look are the connections at the water pump on the floor behind the Nautilus panel, and the many connections at and near the back of the Nautilus panel. Jiggle these gently while connected to water and see if you can find leaks.
Also examine the drains and vents - thick black PVC pipes running through the area - while someone flushes the toilet and pours water down the shower and sink drains.
Good luck.Mark - 2018 Solitude 310GK - 2017 F-350 diesel SRW short box - Pullrite Superglide hitch

I had water in the pass thru since new. Not much & not constantly...drove me nuts. The clear screw on filter housing on the strainer (on the water pump) was screwed down way too tight & it had a hairline crack at the base. Got one on Amazon...seems to have worked, no leaks since. Mark had good advise, also check the soft hose connections, it's not if they leak but when.
Good luckPaul, Sue & Wonder Dog Zane

I thought they would have fixed this problem. I have 2015 Solitude 369RL. After rain I would find water in the storage area close to the wall. I was told to place chalk on the screws that hold the door frame in. I did and it fixed it. I only chalked the screws on the bottom portion of the door frame.

Thanks for the advise. Yesterday I removed the lower door frame screws and noticed water in the panel frame. I applied silicone and reinstalled the screws. I’m hoping this is solves the ingress.
