We ordered a 2014 FR Cherokee. It's one of the "cheap ones" but has given us outstanding service -- 15K miles and 150 nights so far.

As everyone says, you are probably losing fresh water out the overflow. My overflow tube is routed to below the water tank. Instead of installing a valve here, it would probably be safer to just splice on to the overflow tube and route it up higher in the frame ( but not above the tank top).
My Dometic thermostat will sometimes run both fans also but I have figured out that is operator error. Read the instructions (GASP !) and it will show you how to run just the fan you want.
Take a deep breath. In the overall scheme of things, none of the problems you mention are all that bad. At least you don't have water leaks or cracks in the frame. I think finding, fixing, or re-engineering these little problems is just part of RV'ing
