I’m guessing they re there. Look for any pvc pipe hanging underneath. Might just a a very small pice. I would start near the rear.

Look for a blob of expanding foam sort of sticking out. It may have expanded right over them and you'll need to dig them out.

I would poke a hole in the "suspicious bulge" as that would bug me to no end. Not sure if it is your fresh water tank drain but you have already gotten some good advice for that issue.

Gorilla tape seems to be one of the "preferred brands"..

Look for your low point drains OUTSIDE the frame rails (if you don't see a big blob of spray foam on the coroplast). Often the hot/cold PEX lines run along the outer wall of the cabin and Keystone will Tee off the low point drains just aft of the wheel wells, in the space between the sidewall and the frame rail I-beam.

Get on a creeper, take a flash light and just "cruise around on your back" under the trailer. You'll be amazed at the stuff that is under there. Look very carefully along the sides of the belly, outside the coroplast. While you're under there, make sure to seal/cover/close all the many "mouse entry holes" that you'll find. Every one of them will be a "welcome home portal" for cold, hungry mice this winter.... Close as many as you can find now, to keep winter occupancy as low as possible !!!!!

Thanks for the tips, dont crawl on the ground as easily anymore the hint about them being near the outside did it, under the kitchen area, just in front of the wheels. wasnt planning on winterizing but our departure has been delayed.

The part in red is why I use a creeper and "roll around on my back" under the trailer these days. The older I get the more "helpful assistance" I tend to use. Used to be I would just lay on the gravel or kneel on the rocks. My back now requires one of those "half inch foam pads" to lay on and my knees won't work for a day or two if I forget to use my "garden knee pad" to keep them happy.

Old age sucks, but sure beats the alternative !!!!!

Depending on your weight and the type of wheels on the creeper you might get away with laying down a sheet of 1/4" plywood on the grass.

How the heck does one use a creeper on road base aka gravel? I keep some old Chewy boxes and scoot the best I can. At some point, the underside of my little fifth wheel will become invisible much like the roof. I changed the front tire on my Goldwing trike yesterday and had to eat a bucket full of pain relievers just to function today.

I own a 2007 Copper Canyon, just an earlier model of the Campfire. Check on the curb side of your RV, roughly ⅓ of the way back. They should be on the outside of your coroplast close to the outer skin.
