Newbie here .. love the Reflection 315rlts so far .. when filling the fresh water tank I am noticing water on the front right compartment area near wood paneling- any idea what could be causing this? The water is coming from the lower left side under the wood where the panel is pulled out thumbnail_IMG_7487.jpg thumbnail_IMG_7488.jpg
 
You might want to take a look at the back of the NAUTILUS panel, some have reported leaks there.
 
This is on the opposite side of the nautilus panel

Do you fill through the City Water connection on the Nautilus, or do you have a separate fill location? Even though you might be finding the water in one location, it is still possible that the leak is elsewhere and the water has gotten to where you found it through some other path.
 
Would open up basement area (walls) as much as possible around the nautilus and see if you can find issue (if you havent already done that yet).

Through city water on Nautilus. Is there a pressure regulator on the fresh tanks? Im wondering if too much water pressure in could have caused this when the tank filled. ?
 
There is no built in pressure regulator. Even high pressure shouldn't be a problem when just filling the tank. You need to check for a leak behind the panel.
 
How is the wood panel removed? Is there an easier way?

See attached picture. Tx

It looks from the second pic that you removed part of the wall containing the passthrough. However, it is the other side where you want to look. Remove the side wall covering the back of the Nautilus. There may be a weak connection on your fill hose.
 
Remember that water always flows downhill. If you are getting water on the curb side of your trailer ONLY when you are putting it in on the street side you may have the curb side a bit lower than the street side. The next time you fill see if you can raise the curb side some. If you still get water on that side then somehow you have a leak on the curb side. If, though, you have water on the curb side, then you can probably assume that there is a leak somewhere in the Nautilus works. As others have suggested, pull the panel off of the Nautilus box and see if you are getting a leak there.

Don't neglect the simple things, though. Are you sure that your connection is clean and tight?
