Hi we have Bessacarr e460 with waste tank. Kitchen sink disposes grey waste without leaking but my shower waste water is coming out of a junction box under the Moho just before it gets to the waste tank. Anyone experienced this and can help? Many thanks.

Not familiar with your motorhome but is there a removable cover on this junction box ?
It sounds like a connection needs taking apart and resealing.
Someone with knowledge of your specific van may have more useful information ?

Hello! It does sound as if a union has come apart. If you can reach it from under the van and find that it’s standard plastic pipe, then some plumber’s solvent weld should fix it for you. It basically melts the plastic together.

If the pipe is cracked then it might be possible to replace a small section, but that will likely be more complicated in the space you have to work.

I’d recommend getting under the van and maybe taking some pics and posting here.

You can get sone very good spray sealants that will even seal leaking wet gutters, that might be the easiest solution unless you find it only needs pushing back together

knowing my luck if I took it apart it would get worse not better

I think you should have one of these or similar in the water drain from shower to stop smells from drain . If the lid has come unscrewed or brittle water will escape. May have to slide under van to see
