When I turn the pump on in dry camp mode, water comes out the "t" pipes under the seat.

    That is the "thermostatic mixing valve". The fittings that connect the blue and red pex pipes are called "John Guest" fittings. They are "push fittings": if you press in on the fittings, a "collete" inside releases the entire fitting and you can remove it. And, then, hopefully, you can put it back in and reseat it.

    You need to look closely at where the leak might be coming from: which of the three sections is the water coming from?

    This thread (all about mixing valves!) shows in the linked comment what I'm talking about as far as how the "push fittings" release.

    Let us know if you need any more help!

    Thanks! I had this same problem before, took it to the dealer, and they said I had the outside shower knobs ON (which way is OFF?) So I got that resolved on a FB thread (both knobs turn RIGHT) Also took the John Guest fitting off and jiggled it around a little bit (couldn't get the screen off, was afraid I would break it) and it worked after that.

    Until this year. Back to the same leak. I really just want water to come out of the kitchen sink CS so I can wash my hands. Never use the shower. Don't care if I have hot water. Always bring drinking water anyway. Sooooo…..gonna try to remove all that parts as shown in the vid and see if that works. Will let you know!!

    Take pictures, etc. Lots of help available on those fittings.
