Fresh tank leak
Ok, here’s a new one! My wife noticed water under our coach, so I got underneath and there was a persistent drip every few seconds coming almost directly from underneath the fresh water tank. I can’t see exactly, as Winnebago sets the fresh water tank over a metal skin.
I first verified there were no leaks in the system from the water pump to any of the outlets. After opening all inspection hatches and using my iPhone to take pictures where I could not see directly, I verified all connections and tees were dry.
I next turned off the water pump, but it was still leaking.
I next turned off the water pump and completely emptied my fresh water tank and the leak stopped!
We ran off the city water connection with the tank empty and there were no leaks, confirming my inspection earlier.
I then filled up the water tank 1/2 full but left the pump off, and the leak started again.
I think that narrows it down to the connection to the fresh water tank, where it goes to the pump (I verified no leaks in the pump area already), or a leak in the tank itself (which is unlikely). I can’t inspect that area, unfortunately.
I think that’s all the investigative work I can do before I take it in to the dealer, LaMesa RV in Davis CA.
I have a 2017 Winnebago Adventurer 35P.
Comments appreciated!
