You'll have to drop the underbelly. You'l have to figure out the trick to getting the rivet/nails out. Note...when putting the underbelly back on, get some self tapping screws with bolt head.

So, you might get lucky and find your underbelly equipped with some small removable sections. Something about 10x10 inches. I am unsure if these are on all coaches or not and I believe they are in the area of the valves.
I would suggest an inspection of the underbelly for any small access panels that might allow some visibility.
I would also recommend before digging into the underbelly that you remove your basement panels and simulate your conditions to see if any water could be coming from the plumbing rats nest in the basement. You might get lucky and find the source of your leak is just draining into the underbelly.
As far as it being difficult to fix, I would answer that with a definite maybe😂 Just depends on what you find and where it is located.

Sounds like a job for my Tech’s.😂

I found removing the nails easy and a #14 self tapping screw was large enough to not snap off when running them in. If you find yourself in the underbelly route.

So we exposed the underbelly and exposed the valves and emptied all three tanks under pressure and no leaks! That’s the good news!
So now I’ll go out camping next week and see if something else is the cause? Maybe it will just be gone?

Well, thanks for the update!
Good news/bad news I guess, be sure to test/inspect under the same conditions that you previously experienced the leak.
Hate to see you have this hanging over your head during a camping trip, best of luck, fingers crossed that you are to get your concern identified and corrected!

Could it be somthing with the black tank flush / vacuum breaker?

I will check underneath next time I use the black flush? Maybe it is causing the leak?
