I am comfortable with the towability aspects of traveling with a full tank of fresh water (weight distribution, tongue weight, truck GVWR, etc). What I am curious about is the ability of the tank support structure to handle 450 lbs of water over the occasional pothole or bridge expansion joint...
I bought a 2014 5th wheel Rockwood ultralight rear lounge (8289WS) in 2017. Camped both dry and with hookups through 2020 when we parked it for COVID. Since 2022 we mainly use hookups for RVing because the city water works well. The fresh water tank doesn't allow water to the pump. I believe...
Hello
We have a 2021 Cedar Creek 385TH, and will be on a site without water. How do I use the on board water pump to add water to the tank from a water jug or bucket? I'm from Florida and never had to winterize, so i not sure how to set the valves to pull water into the tank.....
Thanks for...
I have a 2022 Rockwood 2806 BS. It’s cold where I’m at. Freezing temps cold. So I’ve been letting the water slightly drip during the nights. Then this morning I go out and hear water flowing. The bottom is foam insulated for winter. But I looked from an opening I made. And the leak is from the...
...anyone else get this, apparently when full, the tank can exit the trailer. I imagine that would be messy. Never been more than half full, but it does bulge.
Anyone had any issues? Anyone had the two straps installed?
Just wondering what I am in for and if anyone knows how long the...
Okay quick question. Our daughter has been living in our RV now for about 2 months. We are using the City Water Connect to provide water to the RV. I have never hooked up the Fresh Water supply. Today I noticed the overflow from the fresh tank dripping. When I checked the panel, it showed the...
The last several years I had the problem of filling the fresh water tank when connected to park water but not wanting to fill the tank. A problem expressed many times on the forum. Well here is the solution. Replaced the old valve with the new Anderson valve. Works like a charm. Photos show...
Location Fresh water tank drain Dynaquest XL 3801TS. rear bedroom ?
Checked under coach found two hoses, presumably overflow and drain but no valve. Underneath the hoses emerge from hard foam insulation, no valve is visible. I looked under the bed which is a real pain given the weight of the...
Had do you keep antifreeze from going to fresh water tank. Can not find a bypass valve or something to shut off. New to travel trailer being a Flagstaff 25rds micro. Have owned three fifth wheels and they were different. Thanks
Was a little disappointed that despite filling the fresh water tank to overflowing, the indicator never indicated full. During our second trip out in the new Wolf Pup, ran out of water on our second night during my shower :confused:. Thought something was a little strange when well after it...
So I've had a gaping hole in my fresh water tank since almost first owning it. I originally thought the hole was for a drain but after digging around I found wires. so I'm pretty sure it was the water pump that was torn off the tank. there is a tube hanging down as well. So it has damaged...
I have a 21 Cherokee Grey wolf. I am having 2 issues.
1. Back in July I had city water connected and water was coming out my fresh water tank over flow hose. So I turned the city water off and pulled the drain valve. I turned on the city water connection and a little bit later water started...
Approximately 2 years ago I replaced the water pump diaphragm and check valve. Didn’t need to remove the pump to complete the work. Did fine for two years and stopped pumping. Motor ran, buy no water.
This time I replaced the whole unit. Actually easier than replacing the element and not...
When does 50gal = 25 gal? When the outlet (to water pump) on the fresh water tank is mounted on the side of the tank and the tank bulges down. I've found the bare minimum amount of water I need to have in the tank is 20 gallons for the water pump to pull anything, which means to be somewhat...
I have a 2014 300st which only has a 40-gal fresh water/grey/black tank. Considering, I could park a VW underneath the RV, is there any reason I cannot upgrade the tanks to a larger size. Has anyone done this? All things being considered, this is the only downside to this model. I understand it...
OK I am having the same problem I cannot locate the fresh water drain valve.
I have bad water in my system and we are camping and I need to drain it as soon as possible!!
Been crawling around on my back been looking for over an hour.
thanks.

Does anyone know where the fresh water tank drain is on an Apex Ultralite 245 bhs. It has an enclosed underbelly. I know where the low point drain plugs are, but can’t see the fresh water tank drain.
I thought this might be useful to share. Didn't know there was such a thing until I researched it. Our Force HD had a gravity fill, but our XL doesn't. The winterization pick-up tub bypasses the tank.

OK
So there are two water hookups for fresh water. A "city" water hook up and a water hook up that a regular water hose connects to. ( I do use a pressure regulator) A couple of questions I cant get a grasp on, prob cause I tend to overthink things
1. If just using the water hook up (garden...
Have a 2016 freelander 26rs. Have been looking for the fresh water drain. Can't seem to find it.
I found the low point drains. there were only 3 and they worked for everything except the fwt.. The fwt is under the refrig and the closet on the passenger side.
Still looking. Anyone have any...
So not sure how, but my fresh water tank drain valve broke off. In the attached photo you can see the broken off edge.
Part of the valve is still in the tank.
Looking for a tool recommenation to remove the remaining pvc in the tank? I've done sprinkler work and have a tool with several sharp...
There are two pins on my fresh water tank drain valve holding it on with two black washers. Does anyone know how this works and how to remove them? I need to replace it because it has a broken handle. Not even sure which one to order. Can anyone recommend maybe a kit or know what I need to...
