Water Leak In Bedroom, drat!!

[Elizabeth]

Howdy, Y'all.
We are parked at the Lone Star Corral park in Dhanis, TX., still.

I was wondering why the carpet on my side of the bed felt a little damp. Hmmm. So I pulled it up and found a wet plywood floor. OH NO!!! Jack and I removed the bedding, let the air out of the Sleep Number mattress and removed it to the bathroom. Jack opened up the bed box and we found water near the water heater, and more toward the drivers' side wall. Anyway, we are drying out that area with multiple fans and we hope that we can find the source of the leak. Drat!!
Some comforting words would sure be appreciated.

Liz, my leak was from theseries of CPVC (or is it PV?)(anyway, the graystuff)fittings going tothe water heater. If yours is like mine, cut all that mess out starting from the brass fitting at the heater, back to a pointa foot or so on thepipe runningalong side the bed. Glue a 3/4" male fitting on thepipe run. Then join withatwo foot length of 3/4" stainless flex line purchased from a plumbing supply house. It has the 3/4"female fittings on it already.They are proud of it, running $20 or so each, but it can't be kinked and allows you to run itaround the obstructions. I couldn't find it at Homey Despot. Ask for house water heater connection piping. While at it, I did
both the incoming and outgoing lines. Sorry for the cumbersome description. I have pics somewhere, but am on the road at the moment.

Hello Liz,
I also had the same problem with a 94 WB. I decided to put a Heater bypass in at
the time of the repair.
By the way what is a WOG?

Thanks
