Leak under bathroom floor
Hi all, since filling the water system after draining for winter I have a leak wich is coming from under the floor tray. I'm hoping that removing the toilet ( if I can) will gain access to the void and hopefully the pipe joints that have presumably come adrift. Can anyone confirm that this is the way to access these pipes? Thanks

Re: Leak under bathroom floor
I have similar suspicions, see my recent water leak posts in Technical. I’m hoping that water I’ve seen at the bathroom door area is tracking from the sink tap fitting leakage but I’m wondering if I have a similar problem to yours.
I’m wondering if you remove the vertical corner moulding secured with 10 screws that the shower tap is connected to you may see leakage via the push fit connectors to the braided tap connectors.
I was hoping that any leakage in this area would drain into the shower tray.
Will be interested in your findings.

I have checked all tap connections including the shower and all good so leak must be under the plastic floor. It seems a poor site for pipe connections but there must be some there as there are only one hot and cold at taps

Re: Leak under bathroom floor
Does your toilet cassette have a sight tube for checking the water level (this is on the right hand side inside the cassette door where you remove the cassette) if so, when you pull the tube out to drain the holding tank, if there is a rubber bung stuck in the end of the tube this could well be the cause of the leak.
The bung should be in the body of the van and not attached to the pipe, the pipe does have to go onto the bung but the bung itself should remain attached to the body work.
With our van the water soaked the carpet by the shower room door, would never have worked out such a simple fix.

Re: Leak under bathroom floor
No mine doesn't have a sight tube. I'm sure the leak is from pipes under floor. Just trying to work out how to remove toilet. Tomorrow I am phoning the mechanic at the dealer who used to work for AS for some info ( or see if he can do it!)

Would the dealer be Cotswold by any chance? Shame they dropped AS franchise. They tended to get their staff from AS , don't know their current staff though. The best mechanic I've met there was Andy (ex AS) who left to form his own repair workshop in Newent , not far away . Maybe he can help if you get no joy at Cotswold.
