Disconnected green wire

Added the wire rack next to def tank like others for sewer hose and it came out great. Since I was on a roll I decided to change out water filter. I got it off and changed out and when I got it back tight I noticed I pulled a green wire loose from somewhere and now the guage that shows how full fresh water tank is does not work. The screws on the side of the fresh water tank have wires still attached and the green wire broke off clean so nothing looks like it is missing a wire. I guess I could strip the end and touch to the different screws but didnt want to mess up even more. If anyone is out later and could look between the water pump and fresh water tank and let me know where the green wire goes I would appreciate it.

I finally got the filter housing to stop leaking after changing the filter. If there is a trick to that too let me know.

There is a screw dead center in the back of the tank. That is the one. I have a picture but it is not that helpful.

there is an "O" ring on the threaded area of the body... make sure it is moist (you can even put vaseline on the O ring) and thread it back up to the frame... I usually just hand tighten it so I can get it off easy next time.

Found out mine is missing the o ring. It wasnt leaking until the other day I pulled it before sanitizing water system and then put a new filter in when I was done. I ordered some from the flow pur website.

The rings are easy to lose when you remove the filter. I have done it several times on my boat and once on the coach. Ditto on the vaseline.

that's why I ordered two packs with 3 in each. If it can be lost I will lose it.

We didn't camp this weekend it was a maintenance weekend. Since Myrtle Beach we have used it every weekend and it was time to catch up. Sanitized water system, pulled the air filters and filter cover on both AC's and cleaned and washed outside. Now we are ready for the summer.

Also to adjust the weight on the passenger side I had to drink several beers out of the fridge to even out the weight.
