Fixed the water leak on my new TT
Well that didn't take long. I removed ten screws that were holding the underbelly cover, starting about three feet in front of the steps and going back to between the two axles.
As soon as I pulled the cover down I heard the dripping, which I thought was great. It meant the problem was right there. Sure enough, it was just a loose clamp on what I'll call the jumper hose between the tanks.
That was a very easy fix. I loosened the clamp, slid the hose all the way on and tightened the clamp. Problem solved!
Then I noticed a potential problem. The jumper hose looks like a vacuum cleaner hose. It, along with two water lines, was resting on an angle iron support. I thought that it was only a matter of time before vibration rubbed a hole in the hoses.
I grabbed an old piece of runner carpet and some duct tape, doubled the carpet, laid it over the angle iron and duct taped it really good.
15 minutes later the covering was screwed back on and the problem is behind me.
Im hoping I can post multiple pics. Pic 1 is the hoses lying on the angle iron. Pic 2 is my semi-redneck fix. Pic 3 is the leak.
All that remains is to get some expanding foam and seal up all the holes again.
I'm glad this is done.
