The other day I noticed drips coming from my front grey water tank. I removed some of the screws from the panels covering the frame, where I found lots of water but no spraying....realized my tank was full so I emptied it....no more dripping .....a week or two latter, same thing happened with the rear grey water tank...full again....since than no more dripping.... my question is .....are there vents or overflows on these tanks or do I have more problems that I need to look at ????

There are no overflows for the gray tanks. They are vented however, probably up to the roof. If you overfill them, you may be forcing water to find a weak spot somewhere.

I opened up the underbelly and let it dry out..... its set for 3-4 weeks now.... I keep crawling under it to check for leaks but have found nothing..... quessing maybe water got in during construction or when RV was in transit to Florida..... the foil insulation and black plastic cardboard probably just held water and never let it dry out

i put the underbelly back together after letting it dry out, left my grey water tanks open to drain down sewer hose …. no more water in underbelly until i closed the tanks and let them fill, once again they leaked into the underbelly can't find where the water is coming from but it smells like grey water.

I had a problem like this on gray #1 a few years ago. Didn't know that you have to keep water in the tanks when the tank heaters are turned on. The heating pad burned a couple of holes in the tank. I couldn't find the leak until I pressed on the heating pad and water squeezed out. Then I tore the pad off (which destroyed it - but it was already ruined from overheating) and saw the holes.
