Flooded out our Warwick
While away last week and using the shower, I or my wife managed to flood the entire floor of our van, mats and all. Water was leaking out under the bathroom walls and into the little cupboard where I store the toilet stuff ( and doggie bags).
On returning home I carried out a couple of checks, leaking bathroom shower tap etc, but we did notice water in the shower tray long after we had finished our showers.
The water was draining from under the bench toilet and back into the tray.
I gave Mark a ring for advice and was told the toilet needs to come out for a close inspection as to what has gone amiss, he has seen trays cut during manufacture!!.
There is a hidden tray drain at the forward end, you can actually see a drain pipe when looking under the van, which was dripping. So I assume as mentioned on the forum recently I suspect the pipe is a push fit and not glued!
Good news, all covered by A/S till Jan 19 when it will be 3 years old, good job I have had the habitation checks done by dealer, or as Mark said it's a no go.
Van booked into Dolphin next week for examination. Will report back on what is found then.
So glad I bought the van from a local dealer, so not having to travel far. I have just read a warning about buying from Shows and dealers miles away, although the price might be special for the show, any gain is soon lost in transport costs.

Very sorry to hear about this - sounds horrendous. Do let us know what they find when you take it in.
