Water leak behind fresh water fill on Eagle fifth wheel

[Dizz55]

Hooked up fresh water to fill tank and flush it out. Water started dripping behind all switch valves. Shut fresh water off after filling tank. Didn’t leak much but where do you start to look for something loose

You got to get behind that panel. On mine I would remove all cargo, the wall closest to that panel will have several screws securing it. When removing them I would keep the screws in their holes or mark them (the holes) with fingernail polish. One of my older 5th wheel trailer had sections of wood on the other side and finding them once that wall is out is hard. One the wall is down/out you should be able to see the back side of the panel. Most pex lines behind the panel will require a special tool to "reclamp/tighten" their special clamp, or you will need to replace a section of pex line (screw clamps sometimes work in this case). If you can, post a picture and someone will guide you.

Hey, me too. Found out that leaving it hooked to the city water I'll get water pooling up in the bathroom floor.


I haven't had time, but I think I need to go in from the outside. If I can figure out how to get the outside faucet out, the panel should come loose by removing the screws.

The water connections terminate in the wall of the bathroom on mine (29.5 FBDS) and I can't see a way to get the inside wall opened up to check these connections.

Any update on this topic? Having the same issue... TIA

So I ended up taking the outside panel off, or as loose as possible.

There are threaded connections that join the PEX tubing to the city water fill that you see on the panel. I just had to tighten them up with a pair of pliers. Probably only hand tight from the factory.

U got lucky. I had bad valves that were hard to turn and leaked internal. Night mare to change all these valves and every clamped fitting leaked after moving everything around.
