Default 2020 gulfstream 23FBS water pump leak

The hose on the rear is leaking. This pump is located under the slide out and is almost impossible to get at. Looks like I might need to cut a hole through the floor of the slide out to access the pump fully. I am currently wintering in Tucson, Az. Has anyone experienced this? Any suggestions?

Maybe a little more info? It is unusual for the water pump to be inaccessible. Most have access panels or clever ways to access. If yours is where you say it is, did you pull the cushions and seat panels in the slide out? Maybe it's actually in the space below your pantry next to the slide out, and there's a small panel (four screws) in front of it?

Default As you can see it is limited space

As you can see there is limited space to get at the pump under the slide out.

I have tightened all fittings as hand tight as I can get them.

The little "hole" you have is pretty normal for an access to things like the pump. You can pull the entire panel (with trim pieces) off the front if your desire. Reattach with a pin type (small brad) nail gun. I see PEX connections and maybe a suction hose used to winterize the unit. Is it a loose PEX crimp you are dealing with? They can be tightened (crimped more) if leaking.

Default 1600 miles away from tools

I am 1600 miles from home and I guess I might need to take it in to an RV repair shop.

Ah, yes, the age-old RV owner conundrum. Learn to become handy to save some $ by tackling issues ourselves, or pay a professional. Crimp ring tools are available at most hardware/big box stores (some even rent them). A little time on YouTube can show you what to do and what you'll need. Also, just because it is an RV, you don't need an RV repair shop. It is a plumbing repair, you can hire a plumber instead. Best of luck.

Actually a pair of side cutters can be used to tightened the crimp on a PEX ring. Have you identified where the water is leaking?
