water tank

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...

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...

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...

One of my grey water tank valterra handles is very loose and looks partly broken. I bought a new replacement handle that is supposed to screw in. I'm trying to take the old handle out by unscrewing it but there seems to be a metal pin going through the middle part of the handle so it's not...

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.

I have a 2021 Work and Play 21LT.Today I was flushing my 98 Gallon freshwater tank out for the first time. So I filled it up to the top and I had 4 bars on my monitor and I am waiting for water to start coming out of some sort of overflow.which seemed like forever.when some water started leaking...

Bought a 2021 Salem FSX 17BHSK brand new from dealer in February and took it on first trip where we weren't going to have city water hookups. Drove to campground with empty tanks and filled the clean water tank almost full at campground and used most of it during the weekend. Drove home 3-4...

Yes, it had been winterized and was empty. I had even left the drain valve open. I plugged in city water and it started dumping...oops...I closed the valve and started to hear the tank fill. Few minutes later water was coming from everywhere. It had blew out at the pressure relief valve. Anyone...

Does anyone know where this is at or located on these units? I have a situation which would involve me traveling a couple hours with the tank full, and I'm trying to determine if I need some special bracing after stumbling across some posts about fresh water tanks falling out...albeit with...

I have a 2020 Forest River park model RV and having trouble with my fresh water tank not working. The tank is full and the pump is running but no water is coming out of the faucets. I used it off and on all winter without any problem. Any advice? Thank you for any help you can offer!

I am the owner of a 2021 Vibe 21BH that I purchase in April of 2020. I have only had it out 2 time in 2020 (Covid). Those 2 trips last year were short, single destination trips, one 2 hours one way and one 1.5 hours. So I have not really used it as I would have normally (pre-Covid) and the...

Hey Everyone, New RV owner here and we're getting ready to head out camping. I was running through things and decided to fill up the fresh water tank today before heading out tomorrow. However, I am unable to get my fresh water tank to fill! The 19HFS has a standard hose connection on the...

Brand new, first time owner here. We are on a cross country trip with our new Forest River Salem 178BHSKX, and far away from home and our RV dealer. On day 3, it appears our fresh water tank is bulging and falling out of place under the camper. We are safely parked for the night, but...

Getting our 'new to us' 2014 Roo ready for our first trips. We went to fill the tank and water came pouring out the bottom. I see other threads on this so I'm feel fairly confident what I am seeing is the sump on the fresh water tank. What weirds me out is the male thread connector on there...

I have a 2019 GT5 and experienced an interesting set of conditions while leaving camp. A gurgling noise emanating from the kitchen sink was noted by the wife; while briefly stopped I inspected underneath the rig and noted water dripping from two drain locations. (Gray tank lights indicated...

I have a 2017 cherokee limited dest. trailer. Went down last weekend to open up the camper. Hooked up water to city water connection like I always have about 15 min later water comes pouring out of the freshwater overflow tube on the tank. Can some one help with this issue? Thanks?

Just picked up a 2021 XLR Hyperlite 3016. I went to fill the fresh water tanks (2 x approx. 50 gal interconnected) and could not find an overflow hose for either tank so I stopped filling at 95 gallons (102 gal. capacity) Anyone have a clue as to where they might be?

Hi: I recently learned how to sanitize my fresh water tank and know how to drain it, etc. My confusion and now sure how to ask the question is, there are two low point water drains underneath and to the side of the step. I know one is hot and one is cold. But I don't understand the...

Have 2021 Berkshire 34B. Is the only way to drain the tank is by running the pump? Can’t find a drain plug for the tank. Not new to roving. Just confused with this model.

Up until now, I have always used the city water connection but this summer's trip will require the use of onboard water. I filled the tank recently and sanitized it but I was never sure I got it full. Is there an overflow hose on the 2109S? I just kept putting water in and it would spurt out...

Total newbies at the entire TT thing, we just purchase a 2021 Vibe 26RK. Not to sound totally stupid or anything, but we are literally learning everything as we go. Question is where is the fresh water tank drain and how do we drain it? We are getting ready to dewinterize it and need to...

Hello, I have a 2012 flagstaff 831qbss and the hot water tank needs to be replaced. I am trying to order it online before I head up to my trailer park in May. I know it is a suburban, but I don't know the model number nor can I find it online anywhere. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

I'm going to try out boondocking for the first time this weekend at Assateague State Park. My trailer has a 106 fresh water tank but I don't want to make the 5 hour drive with it full. I called the ranger station and they stated they have freshwater available at the dumping stations. Is it ok...
