New on here and new to living in a RV due to house fire. I am not sure where to post this question so I hope this is ok. I have a 2017 forest river fifth wheel and I noticed clear water seaping from under the wall in the corner just where the step up is located just under the cabinet where all the light buttons are located.. it's only a little bit of water at a time and seems to happen mostly after I wash dishes and have to run water for a bit in kitchen sink but there is no leaks under the sink. So to describe better where water is it's coming from under the wall between kitchen sink and bathroom. I hope someone can help me I don't even know what runs in that area I'm just lost but know this can be damaging if not taken care of. Please someone help oh and I am on city water don't know if that matters or not.
 
Since it happens when water goes down the drain, I would be looking at the drain pipes.  Of course we can't know how your particular unit is plumbed, so you need to do some exploratory surgery wherever cabinetry or underbelly can be opened.  Till the leak is repaired, use dishpans and empty them in the bathroom or elsewhere.  By not using the drain it should help prove out that it is indeed the drain system.
 
Under sinks are terrible for access, I would also suspect gaps/caulking between the counter top and wall, seal between sink and counter top, and lastly seal between faucet and counter top.  I had a leak from the faucet to counter top seal.  The water doesn't always drip straight down it can wick along under the cabinet top for a bit before going down.  Typically distance from the faucet to the wall isn't that big.
 
Thank you so much I am going to go get a dishpan now and not use my drain in sink today and my husband is gonna get the underbelly off and see what he can see at least we have a nice day today instead of rain. We are clueless to this camper  so happy to find this forum so we can learn how to take care of it. Thanks you again.

We finally found where the leak is coming from there is a drip from this line on back of water heater now we gotta figure out how to get to it and repair it
 
Shannon's leak is being discussed in another topic.  Rather than duplicate, please make replies at http://www.rvforum.net/SMF_forum/index.php/topic,117941.0/topicseen.html
