Water Line Access?

[Nettemac]

I have a 2012 keystone bullet 294bhs. I'm pretty sure I have a leak in the plumbing just interior from the city water hookup. Im seeing a small leak inside the camper. I believe it has something to do with the city water connection, as the leak is right inside where the exterior connection is. I cleaned the area up, dried it up as best I could and checked it about an hour later and there water some moisture there again. Its not a flowing leak, but you can tell the joint where the floor meets the wall is damp. Nothing is spongy yet. I noticed it this weekend when we de-winterized but can't say for certain whether it was there at the end of last season or not.
How do you access the water line in this area? I can't find a removal panel or anything to gain access from inside the camper or inside the torage compartment. Any help is appreciated!

There's most likely a removable panel in the pass thru. One question, have you changed the rubber washer where the city water hose connects? That would be my first course of action. Buy a new washer with a screen attached and give that a try.

Is your city water inlet on a panel on the outside of your camper or is it in a convenience center?

On mine, there is a panel in the end of the bedside cabinet. I got sick of removing and reinstalling it each time I wanted to access my water pump there so I made a cabinet door instead. That being said, if you lift the bed, you might find an access panel under there to the space or maybe in the pass through as others suggested.

Anyway, when hooked to city water, I occasionally get a water leak in the fitting, but I found the rubber washer in the fitting outside wasn’t seated properly and it seems to have fixed it. If your fitting is bad, you can pick up a new one and replace it easy enough.

Do you have a regulator on the city faucet?
Just FYI! this is a regulator

This is NOT!
With or without the gauge.

I had already ordered this, but this isn't a pressure regulator?

[sourdough]

I'm sorry but that isn't a real pressure regulator. It's really a water restrictor. It doesn't really "regulate" it simply restricts water flow no matter what the pressure is. It hurts more than helps.

I believe your trailer has a combined city water connenction and gravity fill for the fresh water tank all in one panel that's screwed to the side of your trailer. I'd guess that panel is "directly outside where you have the leak"....

My guess would be that the plastic city water backflow valve body (plastic) cracked last winter and is leaking or, if you're lucky, the cone washer that connects to the back of that fitting is leaking and if you can reach into the space and tighten that fitting (it looks just like the ones on the faucets under your kitchen and bathroom sink) you might stop the leak. If the plastic is cracked, a new panel will fix it....

You should be able to gain access to the back side by removing the 4 screws in the carpeted box lid that sits beside the bed. Open that box and the back of the panel, the fill hose/vent hose for the fresh water tank and probably the water pump are all inside that box.
