LoL...No. Haven't quite lost that lovin' feelin'. Not yet.
This is recent. Last month. It was tricky to figure out exactly where it was coming from because I couldn't see it to get to it. It wasn't outright dripping and only intermittent. Not every time I filled up, did it leak. Water would apparently stream down the hose to where it passed by the floor, then spread out from there.
The first time it flooded, I was clueless. Figured it was the sink drain because the slip joints were all but tight.
The second time, I traced it back, but couldn't see it. I was able to reach back and get a 1/4 turn on the hose clamp. Woo hoo!
That was it, I thought. Ran water through it. No leaks. Great. Or so I thought. This particular time was so bad, we had to postpone our trip til I got it completely dried out. It was a mess.
Third time was when I went to flush the tank. Thinking I fixed it by tightening the hose clamp previously, I just let the water run this time. After not even a couple minutes of flushing, there was a lake under the cabinet, AGAIN! Now I'm pi$$ed. I immediately yanked that fill box off.
The hose clamp wasn't even slid onto the hub and the hose was all bunched and pinched as you can see in the pic.
I have an idea to eliminate filling from the outside entirely by removing the existing hose from the tank and using an 1-1/4" rubber drain coupling and stubbing up a piece of PVC with a threaded cap to fill from inside the camper, under the step. That way, I can also pour in my 7 gal. reserve water jugs from inside as well. I don't know. Probably a dumb idea. But after three floods,
I hate that fill hose with a passion.
