Our kitchen is on the slide. Draining the kitchen sink yields a water leak that appears to come between the tile floor and the sub-floor, dumping water into the basement. The tile floor does show water at the grout lines.

Initially, there appeared to be zero water under the sink at the opening to the floor, and none at the opening at the back end of the slide under the kitchen cabinet. But quite a bit of water dumps out of the "race" or "chase" in the driver side basement which covers the drain pipe. That appears to be coming from above, not the pipe there.

The drain pipe obviously has either a swivel or flexible connection (it's on the slide) and I suspect that's the issue, but cannot see it or reach it.

Ideas?

We are dealing with the issue by using a receptacle inside the sink to hold the water and then dumping that down the shower. Much appreciation for any thoughts...

Look under the slide in the area of the stove. You should be able to see the hose leading from the sink plumbing. I think, not real sure, but I think the floor in the cabinet can be removed to see the connection. Might have to pull up the carpet.

If you are in AZ, might give this guy a call. https://www.olstromcc.com/

I have a 2000 Magna and had similar leak issues. My sink drain was leaking in the slide but under the floor, so it may have been a different problem. My slide plumbing is connected to the coach with a very stiff hose. That hose, again very stiff, put a lot of pressure on the joints and would not stay connected. I fixed it by replacing the stiff hose with a vacuum cleaner hose, very flexible and smooth on the inside, no problem since.

For the water to go from the sink to the gray tanks there has to be a connections that moves with the slide.

On my coach there is a trolley system that allows the piping to move in/out and there is a flexible hose that curls up. In my case the kitchen slide is on drivers side. This plumbing is hidden the base kitchen cabinet.

Attached is a parts page showing the plumbing, this will give you an idea of how it works.

Our Alpine also has the kitchen on a slide. Exact same issue, the sink drain “flexible” hose became extremely stiff, to the point it tore off the Fernco no hub connector on the drain pipe going thru the floor to the grey tank. (a repair by the PO ?)
I used a flexible hose similar to a shop vac hose to replace it with. It was something I had laying around and was meant to be a temporary measure only. That was several years ago lol, the problem is now considered permanently solved as far as I’m concerned.

If it is the drain hose this thread may help

I've been overloaded with things and the Coach has been in the shop for everything else prepping for a 6 month road trip cross-country since I posted, so I'm just tonight catching up.

But thank you so very much, all the responses are awesome, we do visit Tucson for family and so I'll check out Olstrom. The other thread from sbeers was also very helpful, now I have an idea what I'm looking for and as soon as I get the Coach home next week I'll dive in - look for more questions with pix.

We've only had this 02 Intrigue for c16 months, did c8,000 miles last summer and love it; plan to do 10-12,000 this year. I've been lurking here since buying it, learning what I can soaking things in. I recognize your handle as always submitting top notch very experienced ideas. I appreciate your responding and giving great ideas. I am tickled to connect since you have an 02 Intrigue also.

Thanks again, I'll be in touch - spent so much on everything else, this job is probably on me
