TOYOwner Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Hi, Have a 1985 Dolphin and noticing a puddle of fresh (at least I have that going for me) water forming around the base of my toilet when the fresh water tank is 70 - 100% full. Can't seem to find the direct source of the leak. Something to check before needing to remove the whole toilet? If I do remove the toilet, any tips on getting it off and back on without causing further issues. Thanks. TO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gulfstream Greg Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 My guess is your fresh water tank is in the bottom of the closet and is leaking from one of the sensor ports. If it leaks when not moving it will leak at even lower levels when moving. Anyhow the tank won't be far from the filler on the outside.

Maineah Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Might look at the hot water heater too mine is under the closet floor and it made the floor wet near the toilet when it decided to leak I guess you could check outside and see where it is.

TOYOwner Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 My guess is your fresh water tank is in the bottom of the closet and is leaking from one of the sensor ports. If it leaks when not moving it will leak at even lower levels when moving. Anyhow the tank won't be far from the filler on the outside. Thanks for the replies. The fresh water filler hole is about as far away from the toilet as you can get (opposite side front as opposed to the toilet being in the rear (pardon the pun). Tank is right near the filler as you mentioned. The water heater is a bit closer, same side, but directly behind the driver's seat and all is dry. I'm wondering if it's just a loose fresh water hose fitting connecting to the inside of the toilet bowl? Hate to take it apart on a wild goose chase. Anyone happen to have toilet schematics for ones that National RV put in 1985 Dolphins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osp98 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I seem to have the same problem as OP in a 1993 Dolphin. Mystery puddle right in front of the toilet mostly by flush pedal (rear bathroom) after the water has been run in the kitchen sink (driver's side just past the couch). Any ideas? I also seem to have a fritzing out coach battery. Could this affect the Atwood water heater? Anyone have a suggestion on a good new deep cycle battery? I have already discovered that I need a new deep cycle charger as my standard charger doesn't have the proper settings. Thanks in advance!

Bob C Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I would strongly suggest a GOOD QUALITY battery converter with a modern control system. I picked up a Progressive Dynamics 9245 Intell-ipower real cheap a while back. It was easy to install with just 2 wires to cut and reconnect.

Maineah Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Quite a few have the water heater close to the toilet and it is not uncommon for the tanks to leak so before you attack the toilet be sure it's not the water heater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
