We're parked in Camp Verde, AZ just outside the Red Rock district.
It gets cold at night - anywhere from 19 degrees to 30 degrees. We noticed a spot on the tile under the sink. Turns out the hot water line to the sink is either leaking or subject to condensation. The reason I am not sure is that it happens after we go to bed. During the day it doesn't leak or get wet at all. During the night the hose to faucet connection gets wet and a connection between two of the hoses they use to connect the faucet to the main hot water line gets wet. Tech Support is stumped. I tried tightening the connections but they were as tight as they could be. Tonight I put pipe insulation on the connections and we'll see if they are wet tomorrow. I put a thermometer in the cabinet under the sink and last night it got to 47 degrees. There's not a lot of insulation in the bottom of our kitchen slide.
I'm not sure if I am looking for help or just looking for sympathy.
We'll see how the pipe insulation works in the morning.

---I believe it is because the temp. difference between the water in the pipe and the temp. in the cabinet, that is the water being warmer than the cabinet!
Let us know in the morning what you find! Stay warm, we are in Surprise,

Jim, our coach has run of the mill PVC faucet hoses. Since it doesn't leak when its warm I don't think its a pinhole but thanks for the suggestion, I'll check again.
Larry, we don't have compression fittings. Our faucet is connected with 1/2" flexible PVC faucet hose with 1/2" FPT stainless fittings with rubber washers. I checked the connections and they are tight.
Thanks for the suggestions.

The cabinet is dry this morning. The pipe insulation seems to have worked. The temp in the cabinet is the same as the last three wet days - 48 degrees. I'm going to leave it disassembled for a couple more days to see if this solves our problem. Thanks for all who replied to my original note.
