Good luck on finding any piping information, even from the MFR for that. Your best bet is to remove the access panels where the fresh water inlet connects to the camper and distributes throughout the unit. Typically, the connection will be near the hot water heater then once inside, there will be a "T" connection where the water will split off to the Hot Water Heater. After that, you should see the water go back towards the wall to go through a bypass valve, which is the lever used to bypass the tank fill or direct the water into the tank fill. This is where is can get difficult to find. Many 5th wheels will have the fill line go into and behind panels that are not easily accessible or they get directed under the camper where you will have to remove belly skin panels to be able to trace.
At each one of these areas where there is a connection or corners, have someone outside turn water on/off to prevent excessive water spillage and keep any water from getting inside your unit to get soaked into wood and carpeting.
On my rv they are low point drains for emptying the lines before winterization. Blue is cold water and red is hot water. There should be valves somewhere near them. For normal operation the valves should be closed. Sounds like one is partially open or leaking.
There should be plugs underneath the camper to drain the water tanks. Remove them and let the water drain. There should also be a plug on the water heater, remove and let water drain. There is also a bypass valve on the water heater to divert water away from the heater, turn this to bypass. After the water has drained replace the plugs except the water heater plug. The heater plug can stay out. Fill fresh water tank with RV antifreeze, usually about 3 gallons or maybe a little more for larger RVs. Run pump opening faucets one by one till water is forced out and the antifreeze flows including toilet. When antifreeze is flowing out the faucets close faucets and shut off pump. When pump is shut off open faucets, the antifreeze may get slushy in very cold conditions but wont freeze and a little may drip out of the faucets. The water heater may still have a small amount of water in it but shouldn't be a problem if you leave the plug out. Make sure the blackwater and greywater tanks are empty, you can dump a little antifreeze down the drains and toilet to make sure the sink traps are free from water and the blackwater tank has antifreeze in it. Other than that just shut the propane tanks off and youre done. Try to leave a couple of windows cracked slightly to promote airflow and reduce condensation inside the camper
take the camper to a jayco service center and get the correct replacement items for that camper then it is a matter of removing all the fitting strips to allow removal of the old canvas and the fitment of the new items a clue her is to when the new canvas id fitted is to leave the camper opened up and to wet the new canvas with silicon fluid and allow it to dry put before folding it away why , it stops water coming through the canvas when touched in the rain and prevents mould if folded away when wet
The statement is extremely vague. Is it a travel trailer or a motor coach? Motor coach could be dripping condensation from ac while in use. Is it fresh water and only leaks when connected to a hydrant? Does it only leak when sewage is dumped into the black water holding tank? In short, you must determine under what condition the unit is leaking. Then narrow down where it is leaking from and then identify the failed part. RV manufacturers do not publish plumbing diagrams so it is all visual in the diagnostic process.
Double check you are hooked up to city valve, just in case they have a tank flush valve that looks similar. If you are, remove hose and screen in city valve and push plunger end in and see if it's free. You should be able to push in small end of valve in center. Perhaps check valve is jambed.
The best way to repair is to completely remove the shower surround and pan. Build a better support and repair the drain then reinstall. Leaking water will ultimately ruin the actual floor of the camper.
