In our bedroom this morning we woke up to wet carpet in our 05 Damon Daybreak. Tonight it is worse. I took the corner piece off to see what was going on and it looks like the water is coming in from the floor where 3 (brown, white and green) wires are going into a hole next to where the hot and cold water pipes are coming out. I'm guessing these are some kind of sensor wires.

My fresh water tank is under the other side of the bedroom. The leak is directly over where my grey water tank should be. I don't think grey water is leaking though. It appears to be clean water. I also don't think that water is coming from a side seam or the roof since the carpet is dry near the wall.

Can anyone provide me clues to what this might be?

Check the hoses where they connect to your faucet i had a leak like that in my last coach and it was the funnel washers that sealed the hoses to the faucet i found it by running my hands along the hoses and found water just dripping and running the length of the hose till it hit the carpet then it spred everywhere

Thank you Mavrick. It wasn't the connection to the faucet but you did point me in the correct direction. The Fresh Water Connection has a slow drip on the back side of where the vanity is.

I've unhooked the park's fresh water hose and we'll have to use the water pump and our fresh water tank until I can go get a new connection and replace the drippy one.

I do have a pressure regulator on the hose where it attaches to the park faucet. I have since spent the $40 and replaced the part and it has stopped dripping.

It is highly unusual for water to run UP HILL, so if the tanks and plumbing is below the floor, that's not where I'd be looking. Though it can spray up.

Has it been raining where you are?

(Fix the hole in the waterbed... ok, this line is a joke)

Wrap a towel or sweat band around the pipes where they come up .. In fact wrap two with like half an inch between them.

If it's coming up the bottom one will get wet, but the top will stay dry.

If it's coming down, then the top will get wet,, The bottom one may as well. (Due to dripping from the top)

No rain. It was just a slow drip leak on the back of the fresh water connection. It was dripping on the pex water lines and running back to the bedroom until it hit carpet.

The first year we had our MH I used the auto levers and set up. It rained very hard the 2nd day and the carpet in the bedroom was soaked and water was running under the vanity. To make a long story short the MH was 1 1/2" high on one side and the water ran down the slide out and followed the bottom edge into the bedroom it went under the wall and under the vanity and soaked the carpet. When we set up now I get out the level and check I wont trust the auto levers again. I know this was not your problem it's just some information that may help someone else some time.
