Water leak


ports

Recommended Posts

I posted on a different section but did not receive any hits so I decided to try this one.  Upon de-winterizing my 1994 micro warrior, I noticed that water was coming down from above the gray tank.  I panicked. and quickly shut off the water and went inside looking for a leak.  I checked all the lines I could get at and saw no water on the floor.  I had an RV guy do the winterizing and I de-winterized.  It seems to me that there is a drain open somewhere and that is the cause of the water.  There are two stopcocks under the oven and behind the hot water tank.  I looked in the owner's manual and they talked about drains back there but ones that require you to pull up to open and push to close.  I bought this home from an older couple who had it most of it's life.  The man passed away and his wife didn't know a lot about the workings of the home.  I'm thinking that he may have had the original drains replaced with stopcocks.  When I hooked up to city water I had both stopcocks open thinking they were delivering water to the shower and back sink.  I'm not sure if they both should be open/closed or one open and one closed.  Also someone mentioned something about a stuck check valve on water pump.  I haven't used the fresh water system at all.  The pump is under the sofa and very difficult to get at.  Does anyone know an easy way to remove sofa to get at pump if needed.  Also there are two stopcocks in front of fresh water tank.  I'm assuming they are drains.  Should both be closed when fresh water system is not in use.  Any help would be appreciated as I would like to find a solution if possible before I take it to an RV person.  Hoping to get this fixed so I can get out and show off my classic motorhome.  Thanks for your help.

The valves under the shower pan to the left of your water heater should both be closed in order to pressurize the water system.

they most likely will be leaking by now or soon will be. One is a drain for the water heater which drains above the gray holding tank. I had to replace all of my valves.

This is the new-larger water tank I installed.
