Freshwater tank leak

[DDG]

When I fill freshwater tank I have a leak from the fill line. I'm trying to find a way to fix it. Could it be a clamp loose on top of tank and how can I get to it. 2017 cougar 5th wheel 28rks. Thanks for any help. DDG

If the leak is at the tank, you need to determine where it’s mounted. It may have a fill port on the side and like you said it may just be a loose hose clamp.

You may have to remove enough screws to pull down the underbelly enough to find it.

Thanks chuckers57. Would it be better to take the docking station out to get to the fill line, or is a pia to get the docking station out. Thanks DDG

If your docking station is in the basement (front storage compartment) you can probably just remove the rear wall and have a good look.

Thanks chuckers57, but my docking station is in the back driver side of camper. May be better to drop the under belly for a few feet. And see if I can get to it from there. Thanks DDG.

My 27RKS floorplan is somewhat similar to yours. On mine, the stove/oven is where your refrigerator is located (back wall adjacent to the pantry). My fresh water fill comes in through the sidewall, in the lower part of the pantry and connects to the top of the fresh water tank "under the oven" and behind the power center. To access the FWT fill connection, there is a false panel in the lower part of the pantry. Remove that, you can "squeeze a hand and part of an arm" into the space and feel around for the water tank fill line. You can not "visualize the clamp" but you can put a phone or camera in the space to take a few photos to study or, you can remove the grill under the refrigerator and potentially get access to the fill hose/tank connection.

That is, if your fresh water tank is in the same vicinity as mine and your city water line/fresh water tank fill line are located near where mine are located...

Taking a look sure beats pulling the coroplast off the bottom if there's a way to avoid that hassle !!!!!

Thanks JRTJH, I will look tonight and see if there is a false panel in the pantry that I can take off. I hope there is that would make it a lot more easy to fix. I'll let everyone know what I find. Thanks DDG.

JRTJH, I did fine a service hole to get to the docking station. Took the grate off by furnace and there was a hole to get to the station. My 19 old son help me it's easy for him to get up and down then me. We took out the freshwater fill valve I think it's bad just going to replace and be done with it. chuckers57 thanks for your help and you to JRTJH thanks for all the help. Thanks DDG.
