Hey All, 2017 LL 16TBS is the subject trailer. Photo of area of concern attached. FYI The fridge is on the left of the rear wall, as viewed from the interior facing aft. The is no evidence of a roof leak, no evidence of water intrusion up high, nor any evidence of additional damage from the time the trailer spends parked in storage (the frig is of course, off). The commode water supply line also feeds through this wall about 16" back, and shows no sign of leaking, nor the commode. The issue seems to be underneath the bottom right corner of the fridge, if there is any water condensate/trap there ?! IDK. Perhaps the commode sloshed out when we were trailering it, although I do not travel with it full of water as a rule.

I also needta locate a source for more of this interior vinyl wall cladding stuff for the repairs.

Check the fridge drain hose as well as the valve on the back of the toilet.

Hi,

Have you removed the furnace vent cover and checked out that corner below the fridge? You should be able to get your phone in there for some pictures and feel around for damage. Leave it off and check it out on your next trip. The foil connector hose is just taped on.

Depending where we camp and humidity, after a week or so we get lots of water in our fridge's drip tray, not sure if it could be from there or even the freezer after a trip? The drip tray could be damaged allowing water to run down the sides of the fridge? We are always making sure we dry that out before storage. Always a surprise just how much water and ice accumulates.

Water infiltration is the worst.

Good luck.

Another place to look at is the exterior  spray hose.  On my 2016 16 TBS there is a cover next to the heater cover (by the door).  Remove it and you can see all the way to the exterior wall and check the spray hose.
