[A/S] Re:Fresh water leak
Hi Barbara and Alan,
We once owned a '74 27' rear bath. If you have a fresh water leak
it may be from a fresh water line. If the water is shut off, city water
and water pump, and it is still leaking (after a few minutes) then
it must be something else. Rain water that leaked in? A '73 most
likely will not have a gray water tank... unless it's a '74 that was made
in '73. Or, someone has added one latter.
The fresh water tank is located very close to where the water fill door
is. I don't think a cracked fresh water tank would leak from the rear
area on that trailer. The plumbing is all sweated copper and is very
robust. Freeze damage or a cracked solder joint? You should be
able to take the cabinet apart below the sink and check for leaks
there. Just use logic and take it one step at a time. But, look where
it is easy to look first. The belly pan is no place for the faint of hart.
I am on my third Airstream and have had water leaks that required
partial removal of belly pan and or tanks on all three. Just my luck I
guess.
We are currently at the Escapees R. V. park just north of Houston
(Livingston, TX. actually.) So, it maybe possible to get together and
have a look at it. Please feel free to email me direct and I'll give you
my cell phone number if you wish to talk in more detail.
