Hi All - I have '93 Winnie Vectra 33' and need to access my water lines to repair breaks from tank to toilet area. Do I have to take up the flooring, or can lines be reached by other means?
Water leaks through carpet in front of bed, down hall, to toilet area.
This is my first post and any assistance will be appreciated.
Thanks

Your talking about the whole cold side if it starts at the tank then it goes to the water pump then to city water hook up then it branches to cold side of the HWH and cold sides of faucets and shower. Where do you think the breaks are it also could be shower faucet. There is a lot from tank to toilet.

Once the plumbing penetrates the floor from the water compartment, all the water lines are run through the bottom side of cabinets, straight trough walls and by way of chases in areas without cabinetry. Good luck and keep us posted.

Thanks for the responses. The leak appears to be located in front of the master bed, the hall from there to the bathroom, and around the toilet. I hooked city water w/o a pressure regulator and that started the problem; since then I've only used tank water to flush toilet and this minimizes leakage but still results in some carpet dampness.
The tank is under the bed mattress&frame but I can't locate the lines to actually see the breaks and that is the crux of the matter.
The unit had been stored in harsh winter weather prior to my acquisition and that, plus the shot of water pressure brought on the
breakage.
Until this is corrected our usage is limited.

Start at the tank where do the lines go from there, so tank is under the bed the pump will be there also check the pump good it has screws holding it down most likely No.2 square head loosen it up and see if it's dripping when pressure is on have someone help to turn water off the pex lines can take some stress from freezing but it is the weaker stuff like water taps, water pump, that will get cracked
