While at Branson we noticed a small 6" diameter wet spot on our carpet right by the wall between our refrigerator and bath module.
It took me a long time to find the leak but I finally found it. The hot water line that goes toward the ceiling and over to the kitchen sink had been rubbing against the vent pipe that goes through the roof about two feet above the floor. I had to take out the cabinet below the bathroom sink to get to it. It was too high up to get wrenches for a normal plastic pipe coupling up there so I cut it with some small garden shears and used a brass Shark push on coupler. Boy are those expensive -- $12.99 for a 1/2" od coupler at Ace. But it did the job and I didn't have to pull the refrigerator to get to it.
The floor is now dry. Since we don't hook up to city water it only leaked when we turned on the pump. If we had been hooked to city water we would have had a very wet carpet all across the aisle.
