    Fresh water tank losing water?

    I have a forest river wolf pup 17rp with the 30gallon fresh water. Ive filled it up until the over flow drips and when I take it down the road a few hours it will be down to 1/2 or so. Is the water just splashing out of the over flow? Should I cap the over flow after filling? Also Is it hard to...

    Sliding fresh water tank

    I have filled and traveled with a full fresh water tank in my 2015 Nitro XLR twice. The first time the drain line broke. I put a new one on and it broke too. I noticed the hole in the tank cover was not lined up with the hole in the tank. So I believe the tank is sliding around. I did manage to...

    Fr3 fresh water tank not draining all the way

    I am new to winterizing this rig. I located the drain line pulled the plugs to both. I can still see water in the bottom of the tank. When touring the lines I do not see how they could completely drain the tank. Will this be ok or is there another drain I’m missing? The water line is just...

    I have a 2015 FR3 30DS and it appears the duckbill valve on the freshwater tank overflow has worn away or maybe chewed by rodents. In any case, does anyone have a source for these or a manf. number or even a size. Thanks in advance. Colm

    Fresh water tank specs

    Please tell me that a typical FW tank has 4 inlets/outlets and not the 3 I have. It seems the previous owner tried to fit a new tank in and gave up in several ways (3 hoses and water pump line precedes a hanging petcock drain to ground). Now I see that the tank is floating a bit more than an...

    I've drained it several times following sanitization, including about three or four months ago. Remove the cap and get drenched. Today I removed the cap and nothing came out. The visible water level (through the tank translucent wall) was about 1/3rd full. All faucets inside were open to allow...

    Fresh water

    Hi all. We have a Wildcat Maxx 262 and have had problems loading fresh water. It is supposed to have a 87 gallon tank but quits filling at 65? When we first got it it quit at 20 because air vent back flow valve was too low. Design error. Any advice on getting it to the full capacity? Thanks

    Anyone replace the 90 at the bottom of the fresh water tank

    I was doing my winterizing today and was thinking that it would be nice to drain the line from the bottom of the fresh tank to my water pump. I know that it wouldn’t be full of water and probably won’t cause any problems, but if there would be some sort of valve or easy disconnect for peace of...
