Late in the game for de-winterizing and sanitizing the fresh tank... but all went well, letting sanitized water run through the facets, then I noticed water dripping from the wet bay, from the main water input port on to the ground. Just a drip, but it should not do that. It appears the drip only happens when the water pump is on. I have yet to hook up the main city external water. Everything looks dry on the inside. I pulled the panel near the bed (22 mle) and did not see anything wet or dripping. Nothing seems to be wet in the garage, near the wet bay. Although I plan to remove everything from the garage so I can take a look-look.

I have yet to pull the wet bay panel from inside the garage, but nothing seems to be leaking. Whatever it is it must be slow, as the water pump cycles for just a second. I know this is a bad sign, just need to find it.

Last bit of investigation, is near the water port, it I noticed what at first looked like dirt, but was in fact plastic "small pebbles" of black plastic. I did not notice any new holes or where the plastic bits came from. I store my rig on pavement in what appears to be a clean storage facility. 4th year in this place, and never a worry about varmints.

1st trip of the season, heading off to Pigeon Forge, TN for the July 4th week. Hope I do not run into water issues. My only saving grace is that it appears water only leaking to the outside, and nothing inside (so far)

Open to any thoughts or advice ?

Thanks,
 
A quick recap - a slow water leak from the main water input port when using the water pump. No other visible leaks inside or outside. No issues when hooking up the water from the campground, that is not using the water pump.

While camping at "Up the Creek" campground in Pigeon Forge, TN during the July 4th break, the camp host is also an RV tech, and he told me to check or replace the "check valve" - the one running from the fresh tank. I will pull the back panel and take a pic, so I can get some advice.

If anybody has experienced the same issue, I would very much like to hear from you.

Thanks,
