Drip Leak Under Pinnacle

Yesterday I noticed this drip leak under my 2017 Jayco Pinnacle 38REFS! Any assistance with what it is? Thanks

Were you flushing the black tank by chance when the leak occurred?

A few more details may help someone answer correctly. Had you been driving or parked, FW tank full, did you just fill it, draining gray or black tanks, hooked to city water, raining, etc, etc.

Is it the fresh water overflow line?

When my eagle is commected to city water above 45psi the water is forced past the water pump into the fresh water tank. It slowly fills and then overflows.

My solution was to get a good water pressure regulator and set it for just under 45psi.

If you're still under warranty, I'd get that problem solved.
I've never heard of anyone saying that before and I've never had that problem.
And, I've never used a pressure regulator in 12 years.

That means your check valve in the water pump is bad.

I agree. And I will get it looked at next time I have it at the dealer. Until then just limiting water pressure keeps it under control.

I have a 2015 Pinnacle and have experienced some leakage problems all of which have been solved. Where is the leak coming from? Is the liner underneath look "bloated". Worst case scenario......a grey water connection has come lose...solution: get to your dealer NOW. Please post your response.

We are hooked up to city water at the campsite and found out thru a process of elimination along with being new RV owners that the grey water and black water tanks hadn't been emptied!
After watching our walk thru video we did at the dealership prior to delivery it was mentioned to keep periodic checks on the tanks!
We now do this as a regular regiment and it has eliminated the dripping of water issue!!
