This is what we discovered very early on. Also, if an authorized dealer you didn’t purchase from doesn’t outright refuse service, they place you at the end of the line. Moreover, despite the published prices for labor and routine “services” (furnace service, WH service, roof cleaning/inspection) they’ll tack on a “diagnostic” fee ($75 per 15 minutes) for every single service you’ve authorized them to perform. That really drove us away. We’ve already asked you to flush the water heater and ensure that it’s operating efficiently/safely, but you have to spend 1/2 hour LOOKING at it ($150 dollars worth) before you even start the servicing?????? Luckily, we have a small, local place 2 miles away with mechanics/techs who’ve been there for years. They know what they’re doing and we trust them.

To say my belly leak's been a bitch to fix is an understatement.

Earlier this year, I had a leak from the same spot. I was camping in northern Arizona and it was very cold. It leaked the entire time I was there. From there, I went to southern Arizona. It was quite a bit warmer. No leak. I took the trailer in when I got home. The service people could not find any sign of a leak. They suggested it was possibly condensation running down the pipes. I have not experienced it since, but I have not been to anymore cold locations.

Those hose end flush things are worthless. Here's a vidoe of a guy trying different methods of black tank flushing.

I finally had it tested for a leak. I could not find any dealership service location that would look at it. Well at least before the end of the year. So I had a mechanic friend and I take a look. We could not locate any leaks. Bottom line is that since we rules out leaks in pipes and tanks, that the only other other thing it could have been was road spray that got up underneath when I traveled home from the campground. It had rained for maybe about 30 minutes on the 2 hour drive home. I used caulking to seal around the edges of the coroplast and taped up and foamed everything hole I could find.
From reading more posts in here it sounds like road spray is very common issue. I should of thought if that first before concluding it was a leak

Gstepp22, you stated you drained the tanks before you left the campsite but did you leave the water pump on per chance?? I did in my last RV while traveling and developed a leak filling my under belly with about 10 gallons of fresh water that got drained everywhere on the freeway apron. Once the tanks and lines were pumped out voila no more leak.......until I filled my tank and turned on my pump next time. Just a thought.

Nope. It's only a few months old and I never once used the fresh water tank or the water pump.
