Water Filter Issues

Ok so we were camping this weekend in our Rockwood Roo when suddenly we heard a loud bang and water rushing in the middle of the night. Immediately turned off the water pump opened up the back of the camper where the pump and filter are located to find that the filter had disconnected itself and water was everywhere!

Cleaned it up, reconnected the filter tightly and thought we had it figured out. Well it happened again several times during the weekend with the water pump on and with the water pump off. It literally twisted itself off when the water was running or the pump was on. CRAZY stuff felt like the camper was haunted!

Any ideas, the filter isn't cracked, fits properly and we have never had this happen before! Appreciate any input you can offer, we ended up not being able to use our water and this is just the beginning of our camping season.

  • Had the same thing happen two months ago, filter would unscrew itself. I tried to use Gorilla tape to hold it on and still came off. After playing with it for a couple of hours I went to Home Depot and purchased a 1/2 coupler, removed the water filter entirely and connected the lines together. Problem solved. I now use an in line filter that's half the price of the FR filter.
