I filled my water tank for the first time and noted water dripping beneath the rig. I was thinking this is probably not a good thing. Upon investigation I found that the filler neck on the water tank is split or cracked in two places. See photo. What's the best stuff to repair these cracks? I want to repair it in place. Thanks.

I'd see if I could find a welding shop that welds plastic, and take the coach to them with the filler tube removed from the tank. Depending on the material, they ought to be able to weld it. The option is a fiberglas patch. Once repaired, I'd see if there isn't something you could connect a brace to and clamp it to the fill tube so it doesn't move around and stress the fill nipple on the tank. Which it looks like is how it split in the first place.
