Water Leak

We took are new 248 on its first trip over the weekend and had bad water leak.

Had found a couple a puddles on the floor and thought maybe we spilled something.Then the next morning saw water pouring out from under the rear of the trailer.
I turned of the city water and the leak eventually stopped.

Now I have to take it back and have them fix it!

If that water came from inside the trailer, Sounds like you may need to have then replace the floor as well. My 1st trailer (I brought it used and didn't know about it) had a water leak while the 1st owner had it, and over time the floor got soft and when I started to tear it open found black mold.
FORTUNATELY, shortly after that I had a tire blow and damage the trailer and the insurance totaled the trailer.

Well I take back a a couple of weeks.
Will ask about potential mold problems.

Looked like most of the water was coming from in between the flooring and isulation.

I had a similar problem,turned out that the city water connection is a threaded female fitting to a male.So when turning the outside connection to attach city water it was loosening the fitting inside and would start to drip water,took me a few hours to find it,I thought it was just the AC condensation running down the side of the trailer.i took panel where the line was off and re tightened the fitting.it stopped right away but happened again.so my fix this time was a piece of thin wire secured around the female fitting and a small screw attached to each side in the wood so it won't come loose connecting the hose

I looked under the sinks,fridge and water storage tank area and saw no signs of water leakage.

Saw lots of debris from mfg. Will vacuum out later.

The outside water connection is ok.

Will find out in a couple weeks and have them fix a couple other things.
