Hi millie milster, the pipes you see are for the cold/hot water taps, take out your cassette holding tank, and feel if any of the pipes are wet, or water has been running down them, if so there is a leak most likely at the tap connection, make same check with kitchen sink pipes, if water has been running down the pipe, undo the 4 screws ant lift out the tap to gain access to the pipes, check the jubilee clips, remember to re-seal the tap seat, then screw down again, also check if there are any joins in the pipe, they could be at fault, if none of the above are at fault, you could have leak in the fresh water holding tank. Hope that helps.Good luck and keep us posted.

 Hi millie milster, If your pipes are in the location of the disposal tank, water can run down the pipes into the resess under tank, read this, this may not apply to your situation, but it will give you an idea of how far water will travel through a van.

My mate went on his first trip in his new to him van we went along with ours. First day I noticed he was using a lot of water, he had filled a 23liter water hog for the third time(and had not seen him empty the waste hog or toilet cassette, Anyway later that day after returning from a day out, he came to my van and said his van was flooded, went over to his van and found their little blind and deaf dog standing on a soaking wet carpet, Checked van out could not find any kind of leak,, looked at cassette, and it was on Red, went to cassette door, opened it and near got drowned, Turned out his OH had been filling the toilet bowl to ¾ full, using toilet, then flushing it into cassette, and he was unaware the cassette would not hold all that water, or indeed it had to be emptied,( I had already informed him of this when we set up), dog dried, carpet out to dry, van heating on for dog and help dry van out. He has not made that mistake again, but has made plenty of new ones. If not simmilar to this then you could have a leak/hair line crack in the toilet holding tank, and only realeses water when you sit on toilet, if your van seals were away you should get slightly dirty water comming into van(but not always).

 I had the same problem, it was coming in through the outside door were you  . take the cassette out, if you look at the door when you close it the top of the door as a slight bow in it, the way i cured it was get another piece of soft rubber and stick it along the the top of the door, just above the orignal seal this should cure it,to test if it is coming in through the door get the watering can and pour it along the top of the door, it took me some time to fathom out were it was coming from, hope this helps

Hi had a problem my self with water in  toilet cassette locker, the water in locker was pink so leak was before cassette tank (lip seal) replaced for £10 all fine, if water was blue then would be leaking cassette tank, and clear would  probably be rainwater

there is a lot of talk about the cassette outer door leaking but the poster says the carpet in the toilet room is wet. That's not coming from the outer door leaking is it?

          Yes it is that is what happened in my case, i even had a new door frame fitted

           and that never cured it, if you look at the floor of the cassette toilet you will see it is higher than the bathroom floor.
