A "drip"

[Rick Coleman]

Noticed a water drip yesterday outside at the forward corner of the driver side rear wheel opening. Can't see the cause. On my coach this area is below the bathroom sink and shower. I just had the shower faucet replaced, which makes me wonder.... It's a pretty fast drip. Any ideas?

Rick,

Just a guess, but are you running the A/C? Could it be the condensation drain?

[Rick Coleman]

Hi Tom- No, it's a beautiful 70 degrees here. No AC necessary.

Nice to here from you

If it goes away it was probably condensation left in the line in the ceiling that drips out when the coach attitude is just right.
If it continues, I'd get the shower vavle connections checked. IIRC, those are plastic which can be over-torqued so as to fail later.

Hi Mike- I'm hoping your thought is correct, because after a full day of dripping it mysteriously stopped, just like the inside chirping. It must be my lucky day, or that bird took his water bowl with him. I was not looking forward to tearing into the wall with the shower plumbing.

Thanks, Rick

Mike- Thought further about your comment and it leads me to question what route any leftover condensation might take to come out where it did. There is no drain hose at that location. Any ideas?

If there is no exit tube there, I'd say that isn't a likely source. When I had my AC's apart to resolve noise issues, I noted the clear plastic drain tube had enough of a low spot that it stands water in the tube. Thought that maybe your contents had shifted & it was old condensate, but dripping for a full day sort of negates that.

Now that I look @ my coach (should be same as yours in this respect), the shower valve may or may not be involved. If it is, it would have to leak down the inside wall, thru the floor somewhere, and either @ the floor or coach bottom travel backwards to exit by the wheel (i.e. shower valve is just aft of slide wall, and that's ~3 feet ahead of your described drip location). IIWY I'd pull the velcro'd cover off the utility bay and check around w/a flashlight for water in that compartment. Might be a leaking fitting in the water fill (might even be as simple as the hose washer @ the water fill; mine drips there if I'm hooked up over ~60 psi).
