2012 Arctic Fox 1150 small water leak
I have a small water leak, that I noticed when I was lowering the TC. Water (maybe a cup full) came out of the lower front corner of the under coach. The front drivers side corner, because the coach was slightly tilted in that direction.
I was able to remove the protective 1/4 inch underbelly which is screwed on, but it's in two sections and the rear most panel seems to be in place under the edge trim molding if that makes sense.
I hate to start pulling off edge molding, and thought about cutting it. Has anyone else ever attempted to remove this before? The purpose of this is to be able to see where the water might be coming from. Removing the front section allowed me to remove all the insulation and see the freshwater holding tank, a large square semi clear tank which seems to sit right under the front center of the coach, and the grey tank which is actually a long black tank running the length of the coach from front to back on the drivers side. The water seems to be coming spilling from the TOP of that tank, which means it could be either leaking from it (which doesn't make sense, since it's empty) or falling onto it from something else and just sitting there until I tilted the coach forward. I've spoken to Northwood and they've sort of helped, but I just wondered if anyone else had experienced anything like this or had attempted to remove the protective underbelly of the the TC to see/access the tanks.
If the tank itself is not leaking then where could the water be coming from to pool up on top of it? I should mention that the TC is completely covered in a large RV carport and cannot be rained on.
