water leaking

[homemaker]

We have a 1998 coleman niagra. Purchased it new and have only used it about 8 times. We hope to use it more the older our children get. Of course we have to stop having children to have them get older. The boys, four of them, love to camp so I'm sure there is plenty of camping in our future. Anyway the last little trip we took, the water run right out the bottom. What happened? Is it a broken hose? We don't have the extra to take it to the dealer since we are leaving 8/21 for 10 nights in the cabins at FW. Is this something that DH can fix or will we have to go to the dealer? Thanks in advance for any help/info you all can give me.

It may just be a loose freshwater connection. The hoses underneath are held with hose clamps that can come loose. The only way to tell is crawl underneath and take a look.

Could you have had a fresh water drain opened? Could also be a broken joint in the plumbing or even a piece of the piping.

Try to duplicate the conditions when the leak occurred and search for the leak.

Thank you both for the help. I will have DH check it out. Sounds like it might be something we can fix ourselves.

We have a Coleman Westlake. You might check under the sink and see if the plastic hose has come loose. As for "plumbing", most coleman popups use flexible hose that can come loose. You should be able to find the problem, just poke around and look for anything loose. Also hook up the water hose from the house and see where the water is coming from.
