    Water beads under wall and cab

    Purchased 375RES about 3 weeks ago. Tested all systems with PDI and always use pressure regulator. Yesterday noticed water beads coming out from under wall between pantry and cabinet? Can I see the plumbing for this by removing access panel in basement? We shut off city water and only using pump for now until we can get it repaired. Anyone have a similar experience? We are fulltiming so will GD send someone out to repair? Thanks!

    I have pics but not sure how to post.

    I'm not familiar with your model however, you can probably gain access by removing the partition wall in your basement.

    I'm also not familiar with your model, but in some, if the shower backs up to the pantry, there is an access panel in the pantry that leads to the shower plumbing. It is not obvious, there will be 4 screws on all the corners of the pantry section on the back wall, it's a big panel.

    thanks everyone. I fixed it by removing the 2nd shelf access panel in the pantry. The hot side of the shower valve was slightly loose. It didn't help that we setup in the dark and in our haste did not put on the pressure regulator...PSI was 100 psi! guess the high psi revealed the problem. Removing the access panel in the basement also let me see where the drips were coming from.

    Why would an RV park have such high water pressure ? At the least they should tell every RV'er signing in what the pressure is and recommend the use of a regulator.

    We never hook up without using the pressure regulator with a guage. We have experienced pressures as low as less than ten pounds and up to the forty pounds I have the regular set to. I also am a little anel about never hooking up to the power without checking the voltage. I have experienced low voltage, defective or missing grounds. I use the progressive industry’s 50 amp surge protector. It will tell you what is happening at the post before it will let any current into the rig

    We have noticed the same problem. However, water does not seem to be from the shower, I have begun to suspect it may be from the black tank clean out. I will watch the pantry when we shower.

    update -- thanks to ft4now I found the access panel in the pantry, removed it and found that the hot, the cold and the anti-back flow valve (for the black tank flush out) fittings were all loose. I tried to tighten them but the water lines still leak. I am going to remove the shower fixture, calk on the shower side as well as the pantry side, install shut-off valves and tighten it all up. Hope that will fix the problems. It is 48 here near El Centro, CA, raining, and dark. I think I will wait until tomorrow to start this project.
