sweetleon Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I discovered a slight leak in the closet of my 1984 Toyota Sunrader 18'. It was dripping down the vent pipe that goes down to the black water tank. Turns out there's a water line running alongside that vent pipe, and I traced it back down to where it attaches to another water line under the fridge near the heater. Fortunately, there's a valve where it attaches, and I was able to shut that off. My question is: What is this water line's purpose? Why does it even exist? Is there any harm in always leaving it turned off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 The only water lines there should be for your toilet and shower. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 With zero Sunrader experience, I can only guess. Water feed to a previously installed swamp cooler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleon Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 That swamp cooler hypothesis is interesting, and maybe something I'll do to (re)create a swamp cooler. But why would it run up to the top of the closet? Speaking of swamp coolers, I bought an Evapolar and made my own following these instructions.

Ontario_Scott Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I'm in the same boat, I've got a line just like that and I have no clue what its for I just bought a 1986 Dolphin 2 weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ontario_Scott Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Out the roof run right next to the vent and covered by the vent cover and just cut off to atmosphere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Still sounding like a swamp cooler. Not that I've ever owned one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
