I'm hoping fellow Country Coach owners can tell me where their fresh water tank overflow comes out. It's my understanding from the manual there's an overflow valve in the system and the overflow of water will be directed on the ground. My coach doesn't do that -- when our tank overflows it only comes out the fresh water fill port in the wet bay. That seems to work okay (and if I'm quick enough to switch off the tank fill valve at that point then it doesn't wet down the wet bay too much), but I'd prefer to have the overflow dump on the ground and I'm guessing the overflow tube that would allow that is plugged. I'd like to know where to start looking for it. Thanks.

My overflow is in the middle, a little forward of rear wheels. I always fill my fresh tank until i see water running out of overflow. From tank level indicator "Full" to overflow kicking-in it's a space for 15-20 gallons.

Mine is the same as Steve's. My hose sticks down a little so if I bend over I can see it. If I don't pay attention, the water will begin to come out the gravity fill in the wet bay

Same as Steve and Don's. In front of the drive axle and about center between the drivers side and the center of the coach.

Ga ahead and crawl under and take a look. There is a whole bunch of stuff to look at....

But be careful...

Oh, I've been under there, but didn't see any obvious overflow tube for the fresh water tank. I'll take another look at the area you all have described. Thanks.

I can’t see my tube either but that’s where the water flows from during the overfill.

That's my problem, no water comes out under my coach. It only overflows out of the gravity fill port in the wet bay. That works, but it isn't ideal. I need to get under the spot where you guys see the water come out under your coaches and see if I can find and unplug my tube.

I thought I'd close this out in case someone else comes along with the same problem. When I finally got under my coach and poked around some more I found two tubes coming out of the rear of the fresh water tank, in the middle just in front of the rear wheels (as several of you described). One tube is slightly larger in diameter. The larger tube had some gunk in it that I dislodged with a long zip tie that I inserted up it, but that still didn't fix the no-draining problem. Next I covered the gravity fill opening in the wet bay with plastic under the cap, so it was pretty water tight, and at relatively low pressure added more water to the tank, hoping that gently pressurizing the tank would do the trick. That quickly worked and the overfill tubes started draining. I was glad to get that resolved; now I can fully fill up without needing to wait for water to come out of the gravity fill opening and spill into my wet bay.
