Leak???

We used the camper over the Easter weekend and it rained each day except for return trip home. It rained on the trip to the CG. Upon return to stick house and backing the camper into the parking space, noticed water dripping from rear where the fresh water tank drain is. I thought the drain valve was leaking but the only water in the tank was about a pint of the pink stuff. Opened the valve and pink stuff came out. The dripping water was not pink and was draining down above and along the drain valve. Pushed up on the black cover on the bottom of the camper around the drain valve and some water run out the edge. Checked inside on the carpets and walls and didn't feel or see any moisture. It rained again last night (not heavy) and checked this morning and no water underneath near the fresh water tank drain or under the black cover. Any ideas on what happened and what to check next?

I would guess that you had some rain water from the haul go up into the underbelly. If it will run out, it very easily can find a path in during the towing process on wet roads. I would say if you take a look-see under the rig, you very possibly will discover some sag points on the edge of the underbelly material that can allow spray from the tires or the tv tires to find it's way in. A couple of additional screws in the underbelly material may be warranted. Worst case sounds like you could put a couple of drain holes at the low points to keep it from pooling. Just my rambling thoughts!

Were you hooked up to city water and did you put waste water into your waste tanks??? Possible tank split if you did....hope it was just water from traveling getting in under the belly though....

Probably from rain during travel... If something was leaking, it would continue to drip.

We've experienced rain water making it up into the underbelly.
