Where do you think the leak is??
On our trip to Alaska we found that we have a leak in the gray water tank. Here is what I know. The wife and I can have two days of showers and general usage of gray water with no leak. On the third day of showers and daily use the gray tank will leak. What would be your best guess where our leak is? I would think it must be to the top of the tank? Is this where a vent pipe might be? When you drop the belly of the Monty can you actually see the gray tank on a 2955?
Any advice or comments would be appreciated.
Our trip to Alaska was an amazing journey, we are now resting in West Glacier KOA.
Thanks

Most likely it is cracked at the lip which helps to support the tank (Keystone also put in metal bracing under the underbelly).

Where 4 out of 5 of our holding tanks leaked at the input pipe at the very top.

I'd put my vote on the input area also.

If you are right, can I get to it for a repair?

With that amount of water with showers I'd say input pipe. It would be very hard to get to, I've repaired the outlet pipe on mine. That inlet will be right next to the floor in the front curb side. First thing I'd try would be cut the pipe in the storage area and see if its loose and possible glue it back? Then add a rubber collar where you made the cut.
If your still on the road put a valve at the end of the sewer line and combine the gray and galley tanks it help get you home or the next CG.

Could be the dreaded grey tank leak like Michael and Illini Trekker suggested, this may help:
Don't forget the rubber pipe couplings..
