Hello - new to me 2012 forest river 28dbud - the previous owner silicon the vent on the inlet closed - which i thought was odd... but it was also cracked. I bought a new one to replace it and when i took off the inlet - there no no vent line to the water tank? IS that correct ad normal for a...

First trip coming up with our Rockwood A122S and were former campers so we are used to roughing it, but what do you do if the campground does not have a fill station. When I picked up my camper I was told not to fill the fresh water tank up at home and travel with it. Is that normal? I...

Hi, planning on using the fresh water tank Memorial Day weekend in our new to us 2018 pop up, Rockwood Premier 2317G, 26 gallon tank. I assume but don’t know for sure if the tank has ever been used/filled. Any advice? Does it need the “freshening” treatment? Thanks! Heading to Alum Creek...

Hi there. My husband and I are looking to purchase a very gently used 2020 XLR Hyperlite 2715. However, as we will be doing a good amount of dry camping with our kids, we really need to make sure that the camper can accommodate a 100 gal fresh water tank. The one we are looking at currently has...

We have a 2019 2906RS and at a park so I have the city water hooked up but my wife noticed water coming out of the fresh water fill so pulled the cap and it’s full. I only put about 10 gallons in it for a night at a Harvest Host. Any ideas why this would happen. Thanks

Hello we’re new rv owners bought a Rockwood mini lite 2205s we are out on our 2nd one week getaway and have had this issue from the start. When hooked up to city water our fresh water tank always fills up and overflows you can here water going through the pump under the bathroom sink. It was...

How do I drain my fresh water tank on a 2019 coachman chapparel. I found the low point drains (red and blue).

I have a hole in my fresh water tank from a screw rubbing into it. I am going to plastic weld it but I don't know if the tanks are made from HDPV or LDPV? I need to use the right welding rod for the patch. Anyone know what mine would be made of? It is a 2018 Sunseeker 2400w

So this is gonna sound dumb but how do I fill fresh water tank on 2017 3825FL? I’m assuming turn control valves to dry camp and add water through city connection?

Sorry if this is a dumb question. I just got my Rockwood 8291RK -our first fifth wheel and by far the nicest trailer we've ever owned- delivered last week from another state. Because of that, we never got to do a real walk-through. I store it away from home, but I've been taking lots of pictures...

Fresh water tank drain is leaking. There is a steady drop. What would cause this?

Can anyone tell me how to set the valves on the fresh water system so i can get water to the sinks

First time and New NoBo 16.2 owner. Planning our first road trip with enough distance and scheduled in such a way that we need to consider stopping and sleeping overnight (CT to Bar Harbor). We currently weekend at sites with full hookups, and have not yet needed to utilize the fresh water tank...

I have a 2020 Rockwood mini lite 2511s. How does my fresh water tank all of a sudden register 2 out of 4 bars full of water when I have never put water in it? I pulled the lever to drain it and there is no smell or discoloration as if it was coming from the gray or black tank. I have been...

My Forester has a small pex hose draining the water and it takes forever. Obviously, adding another outlet to the tank is not an optiion. Has anyone tried putting a "Y" at the base of the filler tube and added a ball valve? I think that hose is 1" and would surely drain the tank in no time...

The T handle of my fresh water drain broke off. I can barely get a grip on it with pliers. Looking for a replacement. where do I order from? I see these 2 on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006JLSN8/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_3?smid=A357DXKF6TUWJ3&psc=1...

The drain going up and into the tank and surrounding by black "guck" (sealant ?) is loose and leaking. Do I have to remove the black stuff or can I apply an additional sealant? I am a seasonal camper and only need water from this tank, should a problem occur from the well water supply . Any...

On my trip from hell to Nevada last month I also developed a leak in my fresh water tank. I finally had a sunny day to get under there and take off the black rubber guard to discover the corner of the tank had rubbed on something to the point it developed a hole. the tank is not strapped down...

Recently purchased a 'previously enjoyed' 2019 Freedom Express 287BHDS. The previous owner winterized it by blowing out the lines with air (I've always used the pink stuff). We're getting ready for our maiden voyage in the new one and had a question: With an air blow-out, is it necessary to...

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to sanitize or if you should even sanitize your fresh water tank? I've watched some videos about it and some say use bleach and others say use hydrogen peroxide, but some say peroxide does nothing and bleach will hurt the pump. Any help from someone who...

I have water in my bay whenever I travel I have tried to Identify the the source but have not. I have paper all over and cannot Identify the source I filled the tank to max until the water came out the overflow no leak. It use to be OK when I only filled it to 67% full but not now. It may be...

Should the fresh water tank be drained after every use? Or, how long can the fresh water tank sit. Also how often do you drain the water heater? Thank you!

One thing that has annoyed me since shopping for my RV in 2018: The deceptive numbers in the official Forest River specs, when it comes to fresh water capacity. I was just looking at specs on other trailers for when I get 5-foot-itis (as you all know, wishing you had a trailer just 5 feet...

So I found the reason my water tank was leaking. The fill tube flange attached to the tank itself had a crack on the rear side. This was due to the tank partially coming out the rear support and putting the flange on an angle, ripping it. No wonder the previous owners only "filled it...

What's your thoughts on traveling with the fresh water tank full? I've read don't do it and I've seen people say it's not an issue.
