Leak from Under

   Hello.... I just got a (used/2021) RP202 the four season edition.   I am currently living in it, I went out today and saw a stream from underneath, the water appears to be coming from either the black water or grey water drain and dripping down the exposed foam insulation, in the very center.  This entire bottom is covered with a protective sheet that appears to be bolted on.  I dont mind investigating this myself but want to know how to approach this?   do I have to take the entire bottom covering off to gain access?

	You might want to put some dye in one or the other of the tanks to verify which may be leaking. Also, you may want to consider whether it is the tank or the piping connected to it that is the source of the problem. As for the bolts holding the corrugated plastic sheeting, I tried to remove them when i had to make a repair to the brake wires on my Sonoma (the RP 202 have a similar bottom) and found it almost impossible to remove them. I ended up cutting a hole for access and taped it closed with some high density 3" wide foam insulation tape to patch it up. I's been on there for about 9 moths and has held up very well. Here's the tape I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SFDWGFX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

	thank you. good advice on dye and the tape. I have not yet tried to take one of the bolts out yet, but suspect I will run into the same issue you had.
