It reminded us that it's a good idea to run off the fresh tank from time to time. That noisy water pump will reveal any leaks in the system. <br /><br />Good work!Paul and Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07236102580496167796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6388266709789139581.post-84015971861564407362011-11-14T20:05:07.940-05:002011-11-14T20:05:07.940-05:00Howdy Chief,

Remove a few screws, and you have access to all the pipes and fittings.<br />Found that out last spring because of a noisy check-valve on the supply line to the tank.<br />But not all the lines are that easy, did have one stubborn drip, had to drop the gray water tank a bit to get to it. Just needed a 1/8th of a turn on the hose clamp, what a pain on that 'fresh from the factory' error in quality control. <br />Journey39nAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6388266709789139581.post-89387064354210516102011-11-13T23:04:53.647-05:002011-11-13T23:04:53.647-05:00Everything always takes so much longer to fix than...Everything always takes so much longer to fix than you want it to.
