Today I ran in our main slide on our 33.3 and then noticed water leaking from the outside front end of the slide near the front wheel(?). I looked under the kitchen drawers and found that the sink drain 'grey flexible tube' had seperated from it's main plumbing connection at the slide 'bag' area. Some drain water still in the hose had leaked out.
I found that it had been pulled out of it's drain pipe connection, not broke(thankfully), but it just 'came out(!)'. It didnt make sense to me that a drain connection should just be able to come out, so I did some more eyeballing of the drainpipe situation under these cabinets.
Turns out, theres a reason this is a 'flexible' drain line. Thor decided that a flexible pipe might be best because this pipe, and other water lines, cable/coax cables, and electrical lines all run under these cabinets, and all stay 'in place' as these cabinets, and the floor, move in and out when using the slides.
Heres the problem: this grey flexible drain pipe must not only share room with all the other hoses, cables, and wires, but it is also limited in its movement by an ill-placed electrical junction box right in front of it! Thor, this makes NO common sense!
The electrical box could be easily located near the RIGHT side of the cabinets, making it a non-issue with no contact with the drain hose.
I hope Thor is listening. I will be there for service next week. Something else on the list for them.
By the way, I've temporarily helped the problem by adding a hard but flexible panel(the one Thor puts in the water pump bay) as a seperator between the drain hose and the electrical box so the hose can more easily 'slide' OVER the box when the slide goes out. I also added a better, more flexible, connector between the hose and the drain pipe. Fingers crossed.
