"Should that hose be disconnected?" eagle eyed Julie asked. We were doing a final clean up of our camper prior to delivery to the new owners. When I built all three of our camper interiors, what we call the deep "coffee drawer" sits just above the water tank. Remove the drawer (top hanger install) and I have a large access to the fuse block, water and propane lines, and the top of the water tank. Lucky, lucky, lucky.
This is the standard water fill on the exterior of the camper.
It has the water fill with a large tube inside to the tank, and a vent (or overflow) to the top of the tank. When we fill our tank with a hose, we know it is filled when water exits the vent.
Here's what Julie noticed.
Imagine the mess and issues filling and having all the overflow (unnoticed) flooding the interior of the camper cabinet. I found no evidence that this happened. The break must have happened after our last fill. The tank was drained and has been empty since last fall. Lucky, lucky, lucky. Marty and the guys at ATC were very surprised to see this break. It is very uncommon. The fill port was replaced and the new owners drove away with a new water fill on the camper.
