Can't access bathroom sink drain pipe
Hi I have a 2017 Coleman 17rd. The sink drain starting leaking to the ground. I noticed this black pipe is very loose like something disconnected. I cannot get at the access panel to investigate. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance
Rick

There aren't any screws hold an access panel on? They may have sort of completed the plumbing and then stapled the panel on.
Can you provide a photo of below the sink?

Here is that panel. Go
Panel has nothing to open it with. I may be missing something.

the panel is probably stapled on. You will either need to cut a hole (put some hinges on it and make a door) or pry the panel off (still make a door).

It is possible the ABS pipe didn't get glued on and finally fell off giving you the problem you have now.
Regardless, the panel will have to be removed by you or a repairman to look at the situation and make the proper repair.

Yep, black pipe or ABS is commonly used in plumbing drains. ABS glue is best, multi-use glue will work also but I'd use the ABS glue.

Get the smallest amount you can because it will dry up before you get to use it again.
You're welcome, that's what we do here. Keep you going to enjoy your toy.

Take fist, punch through panel and tear off. Fix plumbing then trace outline of panel on a piece of cardboard, stain to match, staple back on. It will be stronger than the original piece.

Thanks!
Got the panel off. The connection of the abs pipe was apart. Unbelievable. Anyway , got the glue you suggested job done. Now I will put panel back on , after staining the edges, with screws on the outside.
Thanks again!
