Unhappy Water Leaks - Monico Knight 40SKQ

When i turn my water pump on, water starts to leak underneath the floor near the rear curveside tire. I can see the water seeping thru the flooring material. Where do i access this area to get to the plumbing. And is there a way to get a plumbing diagram for my coach?

If there is a panel there but it does not have a handle/latch to open it check underneath, there may be straps holding it down.



In my case I can open the door, it is on the back side of the fresh, grey, and black water.



If there is a leak near the pump itself it may just be running toward that area.

there is a panel behind the water cabinet but it does not give access to where the leak is coming from. there is visible leaks at the base of the washer plumbing. So it has to be underneath or behind there. I need to get to the pipes that run the length of the coach?

In my case there is a distribution manifold near the water pump and a line goes to each location. Most are directly above either the small bay where the water pump is or above the water tanks.



To get water to the washer it comes up under the bathroom sink and then goes back to the washer but is hidden by box and/or under cabinets.



Remove the bottom of the cabinet may lift up to review the routing. The bottom drawers will come out and probably expose the piping also.

Jim is spot on. I have a large panel/door that was screwed shut (factory). Removing those screws and adding a simple latch at the very bottom out of site and some rare earth magnets to keep it closed I can now access that area anytime.

I have an Endeavor 40SKQ so the floorplan is likely almost identical.

Our washer/dryer sits up about a foot off the floor. There is a slatted cover below on the front that can be removed. Mine is now held in place by simple cabinet latches to make access instant.

There is a small slatted cover on the face of the shower pan where you can get access there.

Some of the water pipes pass under the shower and go through the bedroom area along the edge.

As for a plumbing diagram. I have never seen a decent one anywhere. I bought the factory CD when we bought ours new in 2008. Even the layout for the electrical is abysmal.

If you could post a few pictures it sure would help us wrap our heads around it.
