Help - Water leak

I have a water leak underneath our coach. It is between the water tank and the driver side, appearing to be perpendicular to the centerline of the coach.

When the pump is running it does not shut off. I can go under the coach and see the dripping, unfortunately it is behind some galvanized plates. It looks lik
e the only way to get to it is through the floor or removing the galvanize plate.

Anyone have an idea? Does anyone know the purpose of the plating and what is behind it? It looks to be about 16 gauge.

I'm not familiar with your coach, but your description sounds like the leak is on your fresh water system. It may be that your fresh water tank is behind the plates you describe. If so, a connection to the tank may be loose. Hard to get at but easy to fix. I would try to narrow down the source.
-Does it leak if the fresh water tank is empty?
-Does it leak if you are hooked to campsite water?
-Does it only leak when your freshwater pump is running?

Hopefully the results of these tests will help you narrow down where to look. If you have a diagram of your water system it would be helpful.

Good luck with the search and repair. The best mindset is to actually try to enjoy the process. Easier said than done....

Yes, it is the fresh water system. When the pump is off or the coach is hooked up to city water there is no leak.

I am going to see if I can run a new line from the tank to the distribution panel.
I found out yesterday that the hot water heater gets water from the distribution panel and not from a "T" connection.
