Plumbing

The topics here relate to the ABS plumbing, PEX water connections and holding tanks. Generally these projects deal with repair or upgrade of these components.

Some of the problems related to leaks in the water system on this Motor Home had gone unnoticed for several years resulting in unseen damage. One of the indicators that a water leak is present is the pressure pump automatically starting and running without any taps or water being used. So far I have found three of these.

One was a slow leak behind the water distribution panel caused by an incorrectly installed pex seal. This resulted in the rusting out of a 1″ x 1″ cross member under the water bay. A second leak was found hidden in the corner of the slideout wall where the pex lines supplied hot water and cold water to the kitchen faucet. A third slow leak was found at the water heater where someone had unsuccessfully attempted to patch the leak with a sealant.
