I have a leak from the pipes in the bathroom in my 2006 Dethleffs Globetrotter Advantage. I can see some of the pipes by looking in the cupboard with the toilet cassette and the water is coming down them and filling up the cassette tray, some is escaping into the van.

I THINK one may have popped off or split due to frost but I can't find how to gain access to the pipes from inside the bathroom.

It has a swing shower panel to convert the bathroom (so could be from sink tap or shower head) and 2 screws loosen the sink but it appears to be still attached in one corner.


I can't find anything on the internet. Any ideas?

I do not have an answer for you. As I am not familiar with your van.
I know that my first move would be to empty the water tank. This will enable you to take apart the pipework (If you can reach it) and find what or where the problem is. I certainly would not be using water via the tank and would in fact empty it. Water and wood are not best bed fellows. Dry out as much as you possibly can. Then use your home facilities, or if away in the van now, you will need to go back to basic camping whilst sorting this problem out. We have all, at some time washed ourselves in a bowl. Re the toilet, most sites have a loo. Good Luck, certainly I would empty my tanks as it would be easy to turn on a tap, just because we always do.
