Hey everyone,

I just noticed my grey water tank has what I estimate to be a pin sized hole in it. Last night it was dripping at a rate of one drop per 3 seconds, this morning it's not dripping but I still see a water drop around the hole. What's the best way to remedy this? I'm assuming there is some sort of patch I can use, but I'm curious what the best course of action would be.

Another issue when I drove it home I noticed a "whurring" sound when I had throttle in and above 55 MPH. It doesn't do it below 55, and even at speeds 55 and above if I let off the accelerator it goes away. It's not a super concerning noise necessarily, and I drove it over 20 hours with no problems. Just wondering if it's something I can fix, a sign of something to come, or maybe it's normal I don't know.

The AC also causes the belts to squeal when I turn it on at a stop, then goes away once I get some load on the engine. It's not a huge deal just kind of startles everyone near the coach when I'm at a gas station or parking lot. What's the procedure to properly tighten the belts? I'm assuming that's the issue since the belts are not even a year old.

Lastly, what size and type of oil filter do you all recommend?

Thanks in advance, hope you are all having a great weekend!
