Had an issue with our 2021 327VIK where we saw water dripping from the underside near the hot and cold water outlets. On my knees looking underneath, put my hand on the metal strip separating the skirt from the fiberglass and felt a buzz. Immediately unplugged from shore power and tested the outlets. All good.
Found the water leaking under the bathroom sink. Connectors to faucet both hot and cold. The water had accumulated on the floor inside the access panel where the converter sits and all the wiring converges to the breaker panel. The water caused a grounding issue and the camper was live.
A very poor place to mount the converter!
Just a heads up!

I made a similar observation regarding this earlier, on another thread. I actually put a silicone bead around the top shelf and sealed around all tubes. Then I drilled a hole into the top layer, attached a 'catch' funnel to the top, and attached a hose to that. Drilled a small hole through the side, then routed the hose into the shower. It's a clear hose, almost not noticeable. Not a perfect fix, but makes me feel a lot safer. Not fun when you touch the outside of the camper and get shocked, or try to get into or out of your camper with that going on.

We had water on the floor next to the bathroom sink and I too found one of the supply lines to the faucet leaking. That's when I discovered,to my dismay, that the converter and a web of wires and connections lay directly underneath. First thing I thought was "who in their right mind would do something so stupid".
I was initially impressed with the quality of my 2022 281vbh. Not any more🤔
