Leak... dang.

During a weekend trip in our 3610RL we found a wet spot in the carpet. Investigation found that there was a slow drip leak somewhere under the water heater. The water is slipping under the hardwood flooring and into the carpet. I've drained all the water from the RV and will have to pull the water heater to find where it's leaking. I'm really hoping it's a hose and not the water heater tank itself. Any tips on pulling a water heater? How difficult is it to pull out?

Check the inlet and outlet of the lines coming in and out of the tank first. Can you get to the back of the tank?
On my 3400RL I can get to it through a cabinet.

Here is some info on the check-valve, it shows piping

I can easily see the cold and hot lines on the tank when I remove the sliding trash can. Both look rusted but neither is leaking. The water seems to be coming from underneath the tank itself. Thanks for the photos.

Not familiar with your set up but is it possible the pressure relief valve is leaking? Jim
