An easy way to check for a leak on the pressurized lines is to turn off all of the faucets and keep the water pump on for several hours.

If there is a leak, you'll hear the water pump run...

The fittings are not a new problem created since the COVID RV rush - our View as built before the RV market went completely crazy - so WBO can't be excused for a parts shortage. They made a decision...

Replacing the fittings with ones that should work better is mostly a labor cost - the parts are pretty inexpensive.

I'm assuming the 2020/2021 View/Navion RVs are using the same plumbing design (with variances based on floor plan). Other models or model years before 2020 might not be the same implementation - so...

I created a poll and will see if we get enough responses from 2020/2021 View/Navion owners to determine if this is a widespread or isolated problem.

It appears this may be impacting a small percentage of View/Navion owners, otherwise the forums would see a lot more reports of water leaks.

Plus, when...

24D - so far they've only worked on the fittings around the water compartment and shower.

Will keep a lookout for leaking from the hot water heater.
