There's a DRIP!

It's underneath the coach near the overflow drain for the fresh tank:



You can see the drip forming and it is fresh water. It looks like something on the road flew up and tore the underbelly and we're guessing punctured the water tank. It's a steady drip but not a fast drip. We're somewhere between 1/3 and 2/3 tank and I'm guessing closer to 2/3 since it was full when we left home on Sunday. We don't know how long it's been leaking though.

The water pump isn't kicking on at odd times so we don't think it's leaking from a line. We're in Amarillo, TX tonight and will be in ABQ tomorrow before heading to Navajo Lake.

Is this likely to get worse with more water and horrible roads? Gary has found WaterWeld which he thinks might patch it but we sort of hate to deal with that on the road. We'd hate to lose our fresh water tank worse though.

Any words of wisdom?

you will have to be certain exactly where the leak is and how bad it is, if it is a small pinhole or crack it might even be repaired with hot glue which usually works on tanks pretty well, but whatever it is the tank must be emptied and the area cleaned really well, then once repaired let it sit for a good day before re-filling.
