3 holes in coroplast right between the axles- Imagine 2600RB
This morning, I noticed we had a very slow drip happening right between our axles.
On further inspection, I noticed that there are 3 uniform holes in the coroplast drilled in a row right smack dab between the axles.
I got up under there with a towel and it smells like clean/soapy gray water.
The only thing I can think that we have done differently this week, is this is our first RV park without full hook ups where we have filled up our gray water tanks a bit higher than we normally would. Is it possible that they overflowed and our sensors are just off?
My plan was to get food coloring and go through process of elimination to see if I could figure out if it is gray tank 1 or 2.
Two questions:
1) Is it normal for the factory to drill uniform holes like that in the coroplast?
2) How seriously do I need to take this if we can confirm its a gray tank leak that only happens when we fill up our tanks all of the way?
Thank you all, one day I am going to write a book about everything we've been through as full time rv'ers. I am sure its not unique, but it has been quite a ride!Last edited by robjob222; 06-21-2022 at 09:57 AM.

We had the same thing happen on a 221RB Xplor. I just don't try and fill up the grey tanks to the max anymore. Probably have been camping 12 or more times since and never noticed any leaking again.

I noticed quite a few "purposefully located" holes in my underbelly a couple of weekends ago and it concerned me that it was the previous owner attending to a leak issue. Now ... it's also bowing badly between supports ... and held up with a half-dozen ratchet straps ...
I'm going to see about scheduling time with a local shop to drop the underbelly and do a full inspection for me (I don't have the room or experience to see what might be wrong) over the winter. At least it's good to know the holes may have been there from the mfr!-Pam

I’ve had two trailers with tanks that leaked when over filled. One the gray tank, the other the black.
Re-pack bearings necessary?
