How can we track down the leak in our motorhome’s storage compartment?

Use a garden hose and inspect for water stains, to determine the entery points.
they have a color dye you can put in it and it will show the leak fast…..
Do you have slide outs? I have a 30 foot travel trailer and was having the same problem, I relpaced the seals on the slide and it helped. Waterlines in RV’s generally are only hand tightented at connections and do vibrate loose over time too. I check mine a couple times a year.
I had this problem once. The basement doors closed out of line “sometimes”, and the seals were damaged. I hired the repair.
In the ’90s. Don’t ask cost. It was reasonable at the time.
use your garden hose to spray on the motorhome. have someone watching for the source of the leak. remember also…water is lazy, it will go to the easyest place to enter.
