Unusual First Time Problem

Thought I had seen it all. Yesterday, a neighbor pointed out a slow water drip on the right underside of the fiver, coming out of that white rubber gasket running along the bottom edge by the Kingpin area. Drip Drip Drip. Had not rained in a week. Spent four hours in the hot florida sun, inspected both AC, with emphasis on the front, as well as all caulking, etc. Nothing. Then looked at plumbing and interior. Nothing. Then the wife discovered water in the bedroom closet. She had stored two 1 gallon bottles of water, on the shelf in the closet, and both had collapsed, leaked, and water ran down the shelf into the fiberglass under the kingpin, and then out the side. Pulled the gasket, let everything dry out. No more water storage in the closet!

You do good work. That could have driven someone nuts trying to find it.

Seems if I don't have a problem, I can make one.

Check those gallon jugs. The ones that milk comes in are very weak, if you get a crease, they will leak. Others, like what A/F comes in are much sturdier.

Sounds like a problem I had a while back.. Noticed the carpet was wet under one of the recliners... I knew there was no plumbing there.. thought maybe the big window was leaking.... until I moved one of the gallon jugs of water I had put behind the chair.. No more gallon jugs of water in the Monty.. keep them in the back of the TV...

Somehow I can visualize that happening to us!
That sounds too familiar like things I’ve had happen. Could we be related?

Glad it was nothing major and you found it quickly.
