As I posted it is probably residual water in the pipes, not a leak.

Grump, I won't argue...but let's say that is the case if so then it's a new bag of worms. In this case the drain pipes are not angled to properly drain...
An inspection just now, shows the vertical drain on the kitchen sink has about 2 in of vertical play...this could account for kitchen gw!
Grump may have solved it...will look into this more when I get back home from this trip.

This will stop that (or at least bring it to just a few drops). It works for me.

What I've always done in case there is any residual is hook up the sewer hose end to the sewer and hold the other end under the outlet on the rig.
Take off the cap (with gloves on) and let any liquid run into the hose and when done lock it up.
No biggy and easy.

Understood. Not saying it's a big deal, just saying it Shouldn't be/work that it does. There should be no water coming out when removing the cap. Something is not engineered correctly or we have some kind of failure.

Dave, if you think there is an "engineering probem or you have some kind of failure" suggest you contact your dealer or Jayco directly.
Good luck and safe travels.

Right! You don't buy a product and expect failure as you drive out the door. As per this thread this was a problem I discovered at first use and nothing has changed. But I do have what I think is the source of the problem. Many thanks to Grumpy for getting my creative thinking going,

?? Where does the suction come from...it's on the drain side of the tanks, between the tank drain valve and the outlet cap? Why, how?

isn't one of those tanks potable water?

It may not be a failure but a little "smooots" caught in the blade. Possible, cuz we all put a bunch of stuff down into those tanks.

No, have a potable water tank also and it has a separate drain.

Or there is something not allowing the valve to close tight. Perhaps paper? or other "waste". May be as simple as rinsing the line well, tightening the valve or? I had that issue on an older TT, I replaced the shut off valve and eliminated the problem. Took about 10 minutes to install.
Good Luck.

Here's what I'd do to figure this out. First I'd clean all the tanks with lots of fresh clear water including the black tank.
Then I'd drain everything as though I were breaking camp and put the cover on the pipe.
Then I'd get food coloring. A different color for every tank and not colors that could be mixed to get another, (I forget but I think those are primary colors....)
Fill each tank... and color each tank with an entire bottle of food coloring.
Then I'd go drive it around for 50 miles or so..... whatever it's taken in the past for the problem to create itself.
So, then when you stop.... if you have a bunch of uncolored water in the pipe you know it's a low spot that just doesn't drain or condensation in the pipe.
If it's colored, you know you have a leaky valve and hopefully it's just the one color and you can identify which valve it is.
Just trying to help.
