Hello, my name is Lynne. My husband Joe & I -complete novices, have recently bought the above van - private sale, not dealer. We really love it,  but 2nd time out in it last weekend, we discovered a wet patch on the carpet ,in between the shower & fridge, we have spent all today trying to trace where it was from & we think  it is a leaky pipe from the rear of the shower.We have had heaters running all day trying to dry it out NIGHTMARE !!!
Hopefully, not too much damage done. We would love to hear from any one with the same model Van, as we haven't heard about or seen many of them around. Also any help or experiences with shower fixing would be appreciated !!!

Hi Folks
I havent got a Colchester, but my old van was of a simular model, would be suprised if it was your shower unless the seal around the tray had gone as most showers drain straight out underneath, check your sinks also and your fridge because sometimes the cause is not where you think, you always get little niggles so it maybe worh getting your van servised some of these mobile guys are good and cheaper than a dealer, oh just thought have you a roof vent above your fridge my old one did, if that leaks a bit it might be dripping down. Meet us on the rally field and we will see if we can help further. Good luck .

Best Wishes
