Got a gremlin in the water system
Prepping the TT for a short trip next week. While sanitizing the H2O system, I noticed a fairly steady drip from near the rear bumper just aft of the water heater. It was happening on both sides of the bumper. However the TT was in a slight slope, which could have caused some water to run from one side to the other.
Anyway, after some messing around, it seemed this leak had something to do with the water heater. When I closed the shutoffs to the heater, and drained it, the dripping stopped. Now there is no water visible inside the TT. No leaks at any water line connections. So it seems this water is running under the floor somewhere. Access to some of the H2O heater is tight, but it seems the entire tank is inside & mounted above floor level. So if it's leaking, why no water on the floor inside?
That was yesterday. So I drain everything & begin the process of putting H2O to the TT over again. This time, bypassing the water heater & checking everything else for possible hidden leaks. Just want to be sure it was the heater. No repeat of the dripping at the bumper. So I add the water heater to the mix. And this time, no leak. Now I'm glad no leak this time. But where was it coming from yesterday?
