2005 Dolphin 5342 Fresh Water Leak

I have a fresh water leak originating in the center of the coach. The water seeps out just above the hand soap dispenser in the water control bay. I have pulled every panel and looked in every crevice that I can find, and cannot determine the source of the leak. Has anyone got any ideas as to how to access the area? Any ideas are appreciated.

Check under your bathroom sink and around your commode. I've had leaks in both areas. Rook

In all likelihood the water inlet is leaking. I've replaced mine several times because of this. You can find them at Camping World. Pressure-Reducing City Water Entry, Wall Mount - Shurflo 183-029-18 - Faucets & Inlets - Camping World

Thanks for the input. This leak is in the middle of the sub floor basement where the holding tanks are. Read one thread where he had the same problem and bypassed all the existing cold water pipes. Yuk, 10 years ago I could have don that, so I guess it is time head for Bogarts RV in Las Crucas. Only Money!!!

Red face Well now what

Took the MH to Bogarts in Las Crucas. After 4 hours of 80 PSI they could not make the leak, leak. It has now been 6 days and I still have no leak. So I ask myself what happened to the leak. Guess I will just wait and watch. But they did find the WH Pressure relief valve leaked at 80 PSI. Guess that's good.

Let me ask, when this happens are you using your gray water tank? If you are is it full or close to full? I had a leak at the drain and tank connection. I cleaned and sanded it as good as I could (it is in the middle of the coach) and caulked it ( hard to do because of it being in the middle, very messy) I also installed a block of wood between the tank and floor so the tank wouldn't expand when full.
