Does anyone here have a water system drawing, or know if FT produced one ?
I developed a water leak the other day & has me stymied. We always use the water in the tanks, connect only to fill. A couple of days ago I was connected to shore water (rare occurrence) and found water leaking on the other side of the coach...tank only about half full. Cleaned up the bay, and could find nothing leaking! Last night when we parked I decided to put some water on board, then left us connected. Same thing happened. I don't or can't understand why I'm getting a fairly sizable leak when connect to the park supply, but not when the pump is on. Two different RV parks, and our pump is always on. Neither of us notice any pump activity when we're not using water. Have just crossed two third world countries, Colorado & Oklahoma (as reflected by road condition) on our way back from Alaska.
Where is the check valve on the service entrance? Is there ANYTHING upstream of that check ... I know, shouldn't be.
Do you have a fresh water shore reel? Notorious for developing leaks in the reel fittings themselves....
We replaced ours twice in the 12 1/2 years we owned the coach.
Oh, and fresh water check valve on a 2003 is behind the white panel in the utility bay....
Thanks Michelle, in my over thinking I had forgotten all about the hose reel. Are there no re-packing options for the reel ?
I need to check records, I think there is an option to replace the "guts" and keep the frame... will post tonight as we are traveling.
Also check the connection that comes out of the reel and connects to the coach. It could be leaking from the plastic spin nut connector. Tighten and recheck for leaks.

This is what we ordered last November

Both times our leaks were in the hub area and not something that was repairable.
I had the connections at the check valve leak in behind the panel.
