Water Leak....behind convenience center?
Noticed water dripping under hose pass thru under convenience center. Water not leaking at connection. No water draining down hose. Looks like some drips from behind the convenience center.
Can this be a do it yourself repair? Otherwise it's a warranty repair.

I had a wet carpet issue in the front near the convenience center about a year ago. One of back flow preventer on the hot water line to the outside shower connection had failed and was leaking slowly. Since I rarely use that water connection, I just removed the failed back flow preventer and plugged the line. Ok--I don't have hot water to the outside faucet--have not missed it. It was really an easy fix on my rig.

There are a number of connections back there including the water pump. Something could just be loose. Take the plastic cover off and take a look and that will tell you if you need warranty work or just something easy to fix yourself.

Had that problem with the 2015. Back comes off easily. Hand tightend a loose connection. Replaced the cheap plastic city water inlet with a good brass one since I had it apart. Several water lines in there you will need to check.

As said, lots of connectors that should be tightened by hand. On mine, the assembly person missed a few and I had leaks until I tightened them by hand. John

That was it! Removed the cover and sure enough..a loose fitting. Tightened it up and leak is gone.
Thank you!!
I'm not the brightest bulb and am new to 5ers....didn't occur to me the connections were accessible.
Soon glad/thankful for this forum.

Don't worry about it. Ask questions when necessary. All of us started from zero. Your's was a good question. If you trace back to some of my original posts, in hind sight they were pretty embarrassing. Cool people on this forum and nobody criticizes.

We disagree a lot but that is good. When 2 people always agree it just means one of them isn't thinking.
