We just purchased this RV from a private party. When I hook up to the City Water intake there is leakage behind the panel. I was able to stop the leak at the valve with plumber tape then noticed water leaking in my storage area. I cannot see the connection as I think I would have to open the area underneath. Is that my next step or should I just try to replace the connection from the outside? Any suggestions? Thank you in advance for your responses.
 
The white plastic panel on the left of the convenience center can be easily removed for access to the back of shore water connection fitting.
 
Thank you. I discovered this and was able to see where the leak was. It appears to be the connector is leaking. I appreciate your response. There are a few things that we are working out and trying to understand. Any chance you have a ceiling fan in living area and can advise how to turn that on? I have scoured the manuals and no instructions.
 
O-My old rig had a big switch in the with all other switches in control panel. Also there are chains on the fan itself O

I think the 2016 Montana had just one large paddle switch in the panel. It isn't labeled, but controls the power to the fan. The fan has two chains which control the power to the light and the fan blades.

This one of the simplest wiring runs in any Montana. From the circuit breaker in the power panel, to the switch and then to the fan assembly. It should be pretty easy to trace with a volt/ohm meter if flipping switches/chains doesn't work out.

In the control panel there is a large rocker button which turns on the fan
