Although you didn't specify, I presume that the water is clear, not blue or green. Assuming you use a blue or green toilet deodorant, that would eliminate the toilet. If the water is on the floor inside, that would eliminate the gray water tank, since it is below the floor. Taken together, these would suggest to me that it is a fresh water leak from somewhere in the (pressurized) plumbing system. Does the water appear even if you haven't been using any of the fixtures? This would tend to confirm a leak from a pressurized pipe or fitting, as opposed to a leak in a sink drain. The test, of course, is to turn off the campground water supply, open a faucet somewhere to relieve the pressure in the sytem, dry up the water on the floor, then wait a couple hours and see if the water returns. Assuming a leak in the pressurized water system, it will not come back.

The four plumbed fixtures are the kitchen sink, the bathroom sink, the tub, and the outside shower. If there is a leak under the kitchen sink or the bathroom sink, it will be easy to spot because the floor will be wet under the fixture. If those floor are dry, then you are left with the other two. You can remove the outside shower enclosure fairly easily. Having done so, you can peer into the space behind it, which is where both the outside shower and the tub are plumbed. This will probably show you the source of the leak.

Get back to us with more.
