Water Leak
While flushing the pipes on my North Point this week I discovered a water leak behind the control panel. The leak appears to be from a connection at the blue valve lever. Unfortunately access is nearly impossible. Trying to do so from the small access hole in the underbelly is not an option. I am wondering if the best way would be to remove the control panel from the outside and gain access that way. Looking at it, there is at least one plastic pipe along with the various hoses which might make it difficult to pull the control panel out far enough to do any good. Has anyone ever removed the panel, or is this something I should avoid. I'm fairly handy, but I'm also aware of my limitations. The leak only occurs while filling the fresh water tank with a hose. Once the hose is turned off, the leak stops. My other concern appears to be a lessening of water pressure when using the faucets inside the trailer. If there's a leak at that valve location, would air getting into the system cause the pressure loss? Each year I tell myself I'm finally going to learn to love this trailer. Each year something happens to prove me wrong. Any ideas or opinions would be welcome.
Thanks,
Jim
