2022 Kodiak 248bhsl lesking

[Lasers]

Hello all, any help will be greatly appreciated. First ever camping trip in my used 2022 Kodiak and when hooking up and turning on city water the camper pours water out of each rear corner. I have searched the entire inside of camper shower, sinks, hot water heater, tub and toilet and can’t find any source of the leak. That being said I do believe it is leaking in the plumbing under the floor. The problem there is the underneath is enclosed and panels seem to be riveted to camper underneath. Does anyone have a plumbing diagram or any clue where this cold be coming from? As soon as I turn on the water it immediately starts leaking. Thanks for reading.

Sounds like you have no choice but to drop the coloplast…. IMO, the previous owner probably didn’t winterize it properly and one of the fittings broke.

Usually, you can see the backside of the main fittings by opening up a panel. Look at the spray port to see if the backside is split..

Good luck!

We own a 2021 Kodiak 248 bhsl and had similar issues, but not at the same time. In our case there were two problems.
1. As you look at the rear of the camper on the right there is a quick connect for the outside shower hose. The plastic fitting behind the escutcheon for the quick connect was cracked. Remove the escutcheon and you can pull out the piping. [You may have to access the location by removing the panel under the lower bunk bed. Scootch way under where the water heater is located. There is an opening to the left of the water heater that gives you access to the area. I removed the cracked fiting and hunted fora PVC repacement.
2. On the left side it was the check valve under the sink in the bathroom. It is behind a panel under the sink. Not hard to get to. You can get a plastic replacement valve. I opted to purchase a brass one at Home Depot.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your reply. At very least I now have a direction of attack and some great insight. I would like to ask you if you know the locations of the tanks grey, black and fresh water. Myself being brand new to the RV world, I am finding very difficult to find diagrams or layouts of how plumbing, wiring and etc. are arranged.

HA! It’s easier to find the Loch Ness monster!

Diagrams and schematics for the camper are not to be found. A service department at a dealer might get you started. Many models, so a diagram may not be for yours. The camper has two gray tanks. One from the kitchen near the front and one in the rear off the bathroom, before the black tank. The fresh water tank is in the middle of the camper. Under the floor from the pantry. BTW: the water pump is in the pantry behind a panel under the shelves. The black tank is nearest the rear of the camper. If you trace the drain valves you can get an idea. Access to a tank can only be had by removing the sheathing under the camper.

Once again thank you for your insight. I am suspect that I might find that the pump is faulty as well being I don’t believe it was winterized at all, at least not properly. Had a hard freeze for about a weak. On a flip side if I have to take down the coloplast I will document and post up what I find. I know they are all different but maybe it will help someone in the future.

I suspect you will find the leak around where your spray port is. When someone winterizes an rv, unless done professionally, they usually miss venting the spray port.

I want to thank everyone for replying and helping out. I finally got the opportunity to work on it this weekend and as suggested it was the fitting on back of spray port. Pretty easy fix and once fixed the problem was solved. Rechecked all fixtures and drains, no issues as of now.
