I have noticed water staining in area around outside wall on and around Nautilus control panel inside access to pump and Alde system  Has anybody had this problem and where was the water coming from.  No evidence of water leaking from fittings inside camper.  Could be water from hose connection and use of black water flush?  Connection tested water stained areas with moisture meter very wet.

    Water is more than likely leaking in from the Nautilus compartment floor. This happened to me. I had to generously caulk around all the seams of the compartment to stop the leaking. The Nautilus compartment is very poorly designed. It should have been a one-piece seamless pan.

    Keep an eye out for drips when you use the city water and black water inlets.

    Our black tank flush connection got the nautilus tends to loosen over time. Every season I tighten the water connections to the nautilus.
