    Thanks Mark , I’ll let you know when I find it , I am going to remove the gray water tank and check it for a leak, I’ll need to take it out to replace the plywood anyway.

    Your coach is a few years older than mine so I assume it has the gray pipe throughout, but more on that in a second. I had something similar happen. I had water in the plumbing bay and it seemed to be coming from the fresh water tank because the plywood floor was wet around the tank. I discovered that the copper pipe leading up to the shower drain was leaking and water was traveling down the outside of the pipe and deposing on top of the fresh water tank and winding up on the bay floor. Long story short. The elbow running up the the drain floor had a hole in it. Corrosion I assume. I plugged it with Silicon and that was it! I pray it never has to be replaced. Tearing up the tile floor is the only alternative.

    The other thing is this gray pipe. I just replaced several feet of it and the connections with Pex. I had another leak behind the shower due to tired gaskets in the connections. That leaked into the plumbing bay in two places. One of which was also on top of the fresh water tank. Keep your eyes open for leaks at the gray pipe connections.

    Thanks Chris , I have the aqua hot out ! It will be back from Co. Monday. I don’t see anything leaking down from above ? I only ran the shower a little , I have the hot and cold water connected now wit/h a by-pass at the aqua hot . I’m still going to have to remove the gray water tank to fix the floor , the plywood under it is also bad. I just hope it’s not the solid tank☹️but it seemed like it come from the back forward ? I have been in the plumbing and heating business for 45 years. Rule No. 1 it don’t have to make sense to be true ����

    Sorry about the large pic! I took out both tanks and tested them ? I’m still not sure where the water was coming from but it’s not the tanks ! The black water tank looks fine. The plywood had to be replaced so I don’t feel to bad about taking out the two tanks . The aquahot returned from Co. Today so it’s time to start putting things back together ��
