My last trip I had a water leak. Was told there is water lines running across the top to the bath room (76 Leganza). I took down the ceiling between the cabinet and the bathroom and I did not see any pipes. Then I checked the the cross member toward the front of the bath room. It is still covered by the ceiling but no sign of water leaking there. I am leaving the water pressure on the RV and am waiting for the leak to show up. The water leaks down the inside of the outer shower wall from the inside of the wall. So I guess I need to remove the rear shower wall and check the shower line for leaks. Means taking the bed apart again. Any other ideas as to where the water could be coming from?

Art,
This is an odd one. Our '74 has the tank in the middle of the back. Pump is on the door side. I know by '77 the water tank was above the propane on the right. It seems that if it were the shower it would only happen if the shower was on and the little unit on the shower head was off. My shower pipe goes directly (well it did until I out in the valve to keep the water constant temp) from the divider on the faucet to the wall at the right of the vanity.
'74 Eleganza, SE, Howell + EBL
Best Wishes,
George

Thanks for the input. My water tank drain is to the top of the dump tank. I hooked up that way.
I have had the house water hooked to the RV for 6 hours. No leaks anywhere. The shower line has been pressurized the same amount of time. My shower head has an off on button and it is fixed so no water is running with full pressure in the shower line. The RV is sitting on a slab that leans slightly to the shower side. That is the same way we were set up at the Dothan because that is how I have to have it because of the sewer set up I have. There is no water leaking on the ground. Yet I had a water leak at Dothan that soaked the floor and came down the inside of the outer shower wall.
I guess I will take down the shower back wall to see if I can see anything there. I have to remove the bed and on cabinet to do that. While I have that apart I need to hook a drain that works for the water tank. I am tired for having to pump the water tank out for the winter storage. I will also change the water tank over fill to drain out under the propane tank.
