We have a leak somewhere in our gray water system. I can see where the gray water tank is, but how do you get at it without tearing out cabinetry and the floor?

I think this question brings up an important point. Having worked on RVs of all persuasions for decades the single thing I would note here is folks who buy these things often fail to realize the last thing manufacturers care about is whether they can be repaired.
Many of the systems are total nightmares if they have to be serviced, and there is no way on earth to get to the tanks, for example, without ripping the camper apart. In this regards, truck campers are no different than any other type of RV. Sales depend on appearance and service costs would be markedly reduced if manufacturers would give 10 seconds worth of thought to whether or not something could be repaired. My two cents worth, Steve |

My two cents worth, Steve Most of that has to do with they way they are assembled, especially a TC. Components, especially water and waste systems go in first on the bare platform and then everything is built around them so getting to and repairing an issue is basically impossible without a major dissection. |
