Just went out back to fire it up and I had a wet pillow in the back room.We did have hard sideways rain last night and I have no idea were it got in yet.EVERYTHING else
is dry.Also I flip the water pump switch for a moment and it never stopped running.
It must have let loose in there somewhere or my tank is totally empty.I will check it
over in the light tomorrow.

Wet pillow possible leak of hard rain being driven past the center divider on the OEM window. Second choice leaking past the gaskets on the clearance lights.
Third guess somewhere else. Smile

Check all the obvious first and be sure the drain slots are clean in the window channels or they overflow to the inside. On the plumbing check for everthing off and a non stuck toilet. And like you say enough water in tank for the angle you are sitting at . I was once doing a car show press event where the star prototype show car would not restart in rehearsal. They ended up flying in engineers from Detriot. Out of gas.

Sideways rain was probably the problem, could it have come in from a window
where the two halves meet??

I had a wet pillow and traced it to water running down the flexible 12V conduit in the overhead cabinets. Obviously coming in from above somewhere and working it's way downhill. I looked over all the lights and even ordered new seals but everything seems tight.

I want to do the pressurize and soap bubble test.
