I'll start by saying that I don't have much history with my coach, it's a 73
CanyonLands, it's 26ft and had a rear dinette.

When I connect to city water, I get water running out beneath the coach at
two locations. The first location appears to be directly below the sink
where a drain cock should be. The other location is on the other side above
and between the wheels where the water heater drain cock should be. Both of
these appear on the water system schematic as drain locations. Looking at
these locations reveals only hoses. Should the valve be outside the coach
or inside the coach? I can't easily access either location within the
coach. I didn't notice any water on the floor inside the coach.

I also found a valve under the counter which isn't connected to anything but
does get water. Copper pipe on one side into the valve, nothing on the
other side coming out of the valve. It's make a hell of a mess if it was
on... Any ideas.

All help will be appreciated.

Thank you,

Eddie
Midlothian VA

The one in the wheelwell is the drain for the water heater. you will find a nice corroded drain valve on that. May even be coming from the overpressure valve. There are actually two holes there. I replaced all those parts when I rebuilt my water heater.

The one under the sink is tied to a bunch of 1/4 inch red hoses all linking to little brass valves. At least that is what my coach had. I removed all that crap when I re-plumbed my coach. I will most likely add a new set of drains, but different than what they did.

I don't know how to turn private messaging on. I use email. I did go to the
forum and asked it to send me a message to reset my password, but it hasn't
arrived yet. I can be emailed at eddie@thepettits.com

Thank you.
