Last time out, after a day and a half, we noticed a fresh water puddle on the floor of our 177.

Having no idea of the source, I removed the vent cover under the bath to insure that it was not the
problem.  We mopped it up with some paper towel, (it was really not that bad), and hoped that it was
a spill from the pups' water dish.

Next day it was back.

I remembered that the fresh water bib was not in a very accessible location for that particular site, and that
we had just enough hose to make it from the bib to the R-Pod.

Turns out that we had over-strained water hook-up hose, and the torque from the stretched hose
had created a minuscule drip at the input.  I have tightened the connection, hooked up to a good water
source, and verified that there is no longer a drip.

To do so required removing the mattress from the rear bunk, unscrewing the piece of plywood that
gave access to the plumbing, unscrewing the "City Water" input connector, tightening, re-installing, etc.

Oh yes, and buying a longer potable water hose!  Smile

A quick tip.. to late now.. but NEXT time you are in there, cut that plywood so you can get into that compartment easier.. I did it because I am "a bit" to larg.. um.. ahh.. er.... old, to set the btpass valves through the storage bay..

But there is a whole host of stuff in there a camper might want to check on..
