Water draining from under belly when connected to city water

2011 Voltage V3900, new to us, about to leave on first trip in it. Noticed that when hooked up to city water, water drains from a designated drainage exit located b/w floors of underbelly, inside the hole to feed your water hose to exterior (under RV). Hope this isn't completely confusing. This just doesn't seem normal. I haven't found any sign or water damage, but there's a lot of water that constantly trickles when water's connected. Any input would be appreciated.

Here's a pic of area. Sorry, pic is sideways! Water draining b/w floors in bottom hole where hose is fed.

Is it leaking from the siphon hose on the right? Or inside the under belly? You may have to remove the side panels to the left of the wet bay .

Have you used the santi-flush system? There have been a lot of leaks reported in them (mine included). It appears that Dutchmen does not understand how to use a PEX crimping tool properly.

I fund two leaks in that area, the black flush connection and a PEX fitting on the hot water line. Both were allowing water to make its way to the belly. Fixed both, no problems since.

You need to pull the inside panel off. I found mine leaking when I filled the water tank after a couple of trips. Inside fill hose to the water tank had come off. I reinstalled & tighten down & no more problems so far.
