Discovery Leak

[hondo122]

2005 Discovery when flushing the black tank using the built in Santi flush I noticed no flow coming out of the tank. While looking to see if the hose was kinked DW starts shouting that there is water running out from under the refrigerator. I quickly disconnected the hose an water was running across the floor. After due consideration I concluded that a fitting popped in the flush system. Now the problem, how do you access the area. I went under the rig, everything is enclosed. Pulled the drawer under the fridge can't see anything from that end. Help! Any ideas?

Best take it back to where you bought it. Or, you might try contacting Fleetwood. Most of the tanks are mounted in what they refer to as the basement area, which is really the area above and between the frame rails. Really hard to get to them. A friend of mine had the fresh water tank leaking on his and they had to completely remove the tank to repair it.

For future reference the problem was with the vacuum breaker valve. It had a ripped diaphragm. It's located in the opening for the shower valve connection. Easy fix once found.
