Funny how my heart still is drawn to this thread.
Snowman, your description of the result of the water leak is exactly what mine was like as I describe a couple pages back. I switched out all the OEM hoses for neoprene. In addition, as is my custom, if I even think there could be a waterleak, I'm sealing with silicone, and using double automotive hose clamps if I can fit them. Once I fixed my problem with my FW tank, it never happened again, even after I turned it 90 deg. for the rebuild. Those stock hoses are not much more sophisticated than above ground kiddy pool hose.
I have had every drain on the unit open at the same time and it takes overnite for it to finish, and there is still some left in the FWT. Like waiting for a new program to install on a computer...go have a donut.
We used our shower 99% of the time. I was the only one who tried a few camp showers, just to keep the moisture lower in the coach. I loved how well that little scamp of a water heater did it's job so well.
Driving the 213 is a dream and one of the things I really miss. It handles curves way better than one expects and can get out of it's own way easily.
Happy Holidays to everyone and I hope you are all having fun.
