I have searched the forum to see if anyone has discussed this and came up empty. I apologize if I missed it. We are in our 2016 180, which we love, for the second time. When we used our shower on our first trip, we noticed water on the bathroom floor. It was mostly noticeable after the second shower and we thought perhaps the tank was full, or I was just not careful to keep the water on the desired side of the shower curtain. Today when using the shower, I noticed water coming from under the base....I had emptied the gray tank beforehand, and I barely had the water on a minute when I noticed the water on the floor. Any idea what could be the cause, and what I could do to stop it? I'm hoping it's an easy fix or back to the dealer it will have to go. Thanks in advance!

Just a thought of mine ,under the sink there's a hole you can reach the plastic lines that go to the Fosset I believe check to see if there tight by hand or if water is leaking from them because it might be running down the inside of the wall ------------- Love to camp 2014 171 |

I shouldn't of said sink because I just realized your 180 is separate so see if you can see where the lines connected the faucet in the shower and hopefully you can just tighten them up ------------- Love to camp 2014 171 |

There is a square piece of wall near the tank level/swtiches panel near the kitchen sink. It's held in place with four screws. I have not removed mine, but based its position I think the shower faucets are right behind it. ------------- Dave Gamble Grove City, OH http://TripsAndTravails.com/ |

Had the same problem in my 180. Took the panel off that is by switches next to sink and the 2 hose connectors were loose and water was running down the to bathroom floor. Tightened the 2 connections and no more problems. ------------- Dawg Lady 2016 R-180 "Lizzy" Georgia |

You might should also remove the panel on the base, near the shower drain. Check to make sure the connection under there is tight also. ------------- 2016 RP-180 2013 Ford Explorer 4WD |

| So...as it turns out, it was the connection under the shower drain that was loose. When I removed the panel, I found water pooled under the pipe.....hand tightened it and it appears to have done the trick. The connections near the kitchen sink were fine, so I figured it was coming from below. Ran the water for a few minutes with no problem, but until I take a full shower, I won't know for sure if it's tight enough. I will report my findings at that time. Thanks again for all the help and suggestions. This forum is invaluable! |

Check the drain connections often (bathroom and kitchen), they tend to work loose. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

Happy to report two showers today, and no water on the floor. I only wish I had checked it last trip. And yes techntrek, you are right to suggest checking them often. I'll be sure to do it regularly. Thanks again all!
