Hello!

I have a 2014 Canyon Star 3953. I noticed a slow drip in my wet bay. The source of drip is from the city internal piping for the water connection. When I noticed the drip I was not even connected to city water. We were set up for the night using only water pump for water. Whether water pump on or off, using water or not, I saw the slow drip. See photo.... shows source of drip. Again, what is pictured is the connectors connectors that lead to/from city water connection in wet bay (behind wet bay panel).

Before I dive in to troubleshoot, wondering if anyone has had this? I was surprised it drips even when NOT connected to city water! So it’s not water from active hose connection. Hmmm.

Thinking I might need to tighten or replace the grey and/or white connectors. Wondering if a seal broken in there or maybe damaged in freeze (although I live in Houston and even freeze a few months back I kept a light in wet bay for warmth). Also, we have been using our rig sense the freeze and I never noticed a drip. Could be it was there though and I just didn’t notice. Slow drip, but enough to put wet spot on ground under the coach (that’s how I noticed it).

Also it’s Kind of tough to access these fittings sense it is all behind the wet bay face. Took this photo by holding phone under.

Any help or suggestions appreciated. Thank you!

The water fitting in older coach's had a valve in fitting that would close tight by a spring in fitting to block water when pump was in use to prevent the leak if you have same there may be grit or dirt not allowing the closure to prevent drip.
Their is not a crack in white fitting or cross threading of parts to fitting?
Top of this page is a search to see if CS owners had run into same problem you can input for advise also.

That could just be a leaking nut, there is a washer inside that grey nut. I have a similar problem, in that the water fill valve is leaking back to the tank, and it's nearly impossible to get at anything. The RVGeeks have a video about this, and it basically involves working backwards and upside down. FYI, I was in Rockport during the freeze and came through with a frozen water pump but no damage. If you do manage to get that black box out, let me know.

The drip I saw happened while not connected to city water... so I assume it was whatever water was in my coach water lines (like whatever water is sitting in the “pipes” so to speak). I can’t see how the water drip could possible be from my water tank. Just curious what others may think about that.
