We have 2008 Passport 245RB. Second owner, purchased from a friend three years ago.
Last weekend we noticed very little gray water draining when we dumped at the site, yet we found the shower had water backed up. Then when dumping for our final, my husband noticed a lake under our trailer, and the underbelly was severely sagging.:eek:. Fortunately it appeared to be gray. We drilled a relief hole, but now we need to drop the underbelly to find and fix the source of the leak.
So what would you suggest be the first place to check? I've read the P-trap could be cracked, the tank itself could be cracked. We've had the underlayment down before to fix the soft floor issue that seem so common in this trailer, so we know to do that to check under there. But from memory, my husband doesn't remember seeing any plumbing hardware visible back there because of the tanks. I'm thinking we're going to have to drop the tanks to get to the shower drain hardware.
With the volume of water we had, and the amount of dishes I didn't do, I'm assuming the source of the water was the shower. We haven't seen an access panel to get under the shower to check. In fact, when we wanted to change out the shower controls and everyone said there is a panel to access it, we coudlnt' find one and were eventually told by Keystone that we'd have to dismantle the whole shower to change it out -- so that's not happening.
So any advice? And if you can direct me to where I could find a schematic for the floorplan of my trailer, I'd be eternally grateful.
