The fresh tank is usually close to the axles for weight distribution. That makes me wonder, if it's fresh water, why the water isn't accumulating further back.I have water leaking out of the front belly section. The black plastic sheeting is bowed and appears that something is resting on it. I believe it's grey water that's leaking out of the belly.

Thanks for the responses. We are home now, and I'll bring it to our dealer on Tuesday for warranty work on the leak. I didn't want to take anything apart that might jeopardize the warranty.
I believe it's gray water due to the smell.

Thank you!
Sorry, thank's a stinker.
Do you mind sharing, were you traveling with grey water? If so, about how full was the tank?
I've read/heard other instances (not just Heartland) where a grey tank drops. I've read folks who say they've been told by dealer to never travel with grey water. Then the rest of us say "aren't they made to travel with fluid in tanks?"
Just wondering if there is something to that.... Thanks.

hi marc an carol, from the way your talking it sounds like you know,if you dont mind id like to ask a question,,,,when you say coroplast is that the plastic corrugated material covering the belly ? also can it be taken down by bolts on perimeter to revel everything up there,,,i would like to mabey add bracing to tanks if necessary. would also like to know everything up there ,thank youYou can tell by the smell. Gray water really stinks. Use a 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch drill by hand and open a hole at the lowest point with a container under it. Keep the drill to use as a plug when you need to empty the container. Fresh or gray, you need to get the water out. You could have a PEX fitting leaking and not the sewer line. So once the water is out, unscrew the fasteners the hold the coroplast on and take a look for the leak. If it is a PEX fitting, replace it with a shark bite fitting.
