Hello All,
We are camped at Great Outdoors in Titusville Fl for the winter and Just finishing our first year traveling. I noted water dripping and have been trying to locate the problem without success. My rig is a 2016 Itasca Suncruiser 38Q. I?ve made an appt at the on site RV Repair facility (2wks out) and thought I would pulse those with more experience than me for some possible ideas while waiting. I?m a reasonably good trouble shooter and I?m very concerned that even if they can find it, not sure how it can be fixed.
I?ve attached 3 pics to help understand my issue for anyone interested and has the time to look this over. (First time with pics, so I hope I've done this right!) The drip is clean water. I think I?ve narrowed down that the leak is in my fresh water supply. I?ve disconnected the supply hose and turned on my water pump. It pulses a couple of seconds every 11 min or so. When I crawl underneath, I can see wetness seeping from overlapped sheeting rear of the back axle, center of rig, and just above the forward gas tank area. The water then drips down the side (forward end) of the gas tank on the waste dump control side. The only other wet location is in the dump area on an upper pocket area on the forward side as if water is running down from the center of the rig to that side although I can not see a path for the water, just a pocket filled with water.
Things I?ve checked: All plumbing visible from outside panels, all connections in the dump area, water pump and water heater connections, checked all faucet feeds, removed vents from shower base to view water feed lines from shower and, everything appears dry. I am unable to see the lines that cross over the rig from side to side where I suspect the leak is due to waste tanks. There does not appear to be any fittings there from schematic, just tubing which I guess might be cracked but I'm unable to view.
As I said earlier, I?ve got an appt in two weeks, the leak isn?t major, but I?m pulling what little hair I have left trying to figure this out.
I?ve called Winnebago Tech support and they suggested draining the system and pressurizing the lines and listen for leaks but I?m not sure I have the volume in my pump that would allow that without turning off and on (noisy) and not sure I could hear anything while parked outside. To be honest, I?m a bit nervous pressurizing the lines as well.
Would appreciate any ideas or suggestions
Thanks
Dave
