I just found a leak in the fresh water tank in our new to us coach, is there anything to watch out for when I remove it to inspect? do the screws for sending sensors just unscrew ( the screws are covered in silicone )and does it just lift out after unhooking all hoses?
It feels like a crack on the bottom,
can this be repaired or am I stuck buying a new one? are they available that fit same space?
1978 Royale rear twin.
thanks
Joe
