fresh water

Hi, all, from a noob, both to the forum and to travel trailers. I bought my 18RJBBL two months ago and all has been well so far, including four camping trips. I winterized yesterday without any complication, but as I accessed the basement plumbing I noticed that the fresh water hose from the...

Need suggestions on how to drain the freshwater tank on a 2019 DX3. I opened the low point drain valves, but very little came out. The gauge is still showing 1/4 tank. I used air pressure to blow out the city water lines, but when I turn the water pump on, I still get more out of the faucets. Is...

The instructions that I found online for the Fresh Water Tank Bypass: The water tank bypass is under the bed. Unscrew the black port next to the converter to access. When I open the black port next to the converter I don't see any bypass valve. There is a lot of wires and tubing. It's very...

See the photos of the bottom of my Fresh water tank, heat pad and 3 supports. The supports are 2" X 2" thin angle iron attached to a subframe crossmember only at the aft end and are about a foot short of the forward subframe cross member! One of the supports is installed directly under the...

Does the fresh water tank on this model drain from the "low point drain"? Obviously, it would take a while. I can't find any panels for tank access. Any ideas? Thanks!

I am a newbie, just returned from trip down south (warm) back home to Upstate NY (cold). Looking to do quick drain on fresh water tank. Anyone know where low point drain is? Fresh water tank is under queen bed in rear. Many thanks and many more questions coming! Hope everyone is staying safe.

I noticed this crack today, see image. It's not leaking yet but I'd like to proactively repair it myself if possible.

After much hand wringing reading posts about water tanks coming loose and falling out on the highway, I am happy to report the Geo Pro (Rockwood) I've been using for past 2 years does not seem to have that issue. I always travel with at least 1/3 tank of water, and last trip they shut off all...

34' 2015 Forest River Salem Hemisphere Lite w/2 Slides We are on our first camping trip. My fresh water tank overflow is streaming water. In the first pic you can see where my fresh water is attached on the side of the trailer. In the second pic you can see the fresh water overflow streaming...

Does anyone know what the kind of plastic our fresh water tanks are made of or who makes them and a part number? I had the bright idea to put an access port in mine to clean out, add bleach and or Anti-freeze but now can't get it to stop leaking. Even 3M 5200 didn't work, which is a first for...

Is there a drain to empty the fresh water tank other than the low point drain on a 35thss? I've looked under the trailer and don't see one but I feel like there has got to be one because the low water point drain is only one white drain (not one for cold and hot) and drains extremely slowly.

Pump runs but there isn't any water from the faucets. We have replaced the pump. Still pump runs, but we don't get water from the fresh water tank. There is water in the tank, however, no water comes out of the supply. Removed the supply fitting, no water comes out from bottom of fresh water...

Before you tell me to search, I have been searching for weeks. I am trying to drain my fresh water tank and cannot get the last inch out. My dealer tells me there is a drain plug but cannot say just where, I cannot find a drain plug. I have searched this forum, google, everything I can think...

2017 VIBE 251RKS. Our FW tank is listed as being 44 gallons, I fill the tank (slowly) until the overflow begins. I then drain the FW into 5 gallon buckets and only get about 20-21 gallons. The gauge say it's full but not even close to the listed fill. I have a worthless extended warranty as...

Hello everyone. I have a newly purchased 2020 HW277. We have camped a few times using the fresh water tank. The hot water worked great. Now we are camping with the luxury of a fresh water hook up. The hot water doesn't seem to want to work. Does the how water heater work with fresh water hook...

Where the heck is the drain on this thing? LoL Bought use with no manual or anything to show me how to drain fresh water tank. Thanks!

I purchased a 2015 Shamrock 23SS late last year and have used it a few times this year. I was camping this past week and had full hook-ups, so I was using the campground water which was hooked up into my "city water connection". Checking tank levels the next morning, I was surprised to see that...

I have a problem with my fresh water tank, when it is full the water starts to runout of the overflow hose and won't stop running. I end up with only 1/3 of water as per the gauge. Any suggestions????

2017 Leprechaun 210RS How to drain fresh water tank, Leprechaun 210RS? Doesn't seem to have a valve to drain tank. Please help. Thanks.

We just purchased a used 2013 Leprechaun 320 BH and are trying to learn the ropes of this model. I don't see a fresh water fill and am wondering how we fill it and how we switch from city to fresh depending on the situation. thanks in advance jim

Campground has lost water pressure. Having fill fresh water tank. Have 2020 8326bh. Should hold 60 gal. Can only get about seven gal in it. Keep refilling but overflows after just refilling some. Sensor shows only two out of eight bars when starts to overflow. Tested fill amount by filling and...

I have a 2021 CC Silverback 33ik. The paperwork says that the trailer holds 69 gallons of fresh water. I assume that includes the 12 gallon water heater thus providing 57 gallons in the tank? When I fill it up, water begins to flow out of the overflow at 53 gallons. I assume that the other 4...

Hello all: I have just joined the Forest River Forums so I hope I am posting this properly :) We just bought a 2021 East to West Alta 2600 KRB and have just completed one week of camping in it. We are happy with it, it is quite an upgrade from our last trailer. One issue we had, was after...

As most of us have discovered, the factory manuals are so generic, nothing applicable to your specific model can be found there to learn the details of any specific FR RV. So I’m asking these questions: where is the Fresh water tank vent plumbing line? Does it go to a roof vent? Is there a Fresh...
