Hey All,
Decided to finally test the water system in the coach. It failed. Water went everywhere and started spewing out the rear floor onto the ground. I tore the rear lounge apart, which was modified by the previous owner, and found that the fresh water tank has several cracks. This had obviously been a problem before, as the floor was completely rotten. The previous owner had put several new layers of plywood on top of the bad stuff. I also have a leaking water heater that needs replacement.
I am looking for advice on two fronts.
1) What is the best and most cost effective way to acquire a non-leaking tank and water heater? If I were to buy a new water heater, which is the best option?
2) I want to restore the rear settee to original specs, but have no real basis to go off of other than a few pics online. Anyone have dimensions, pics or experience here? At this point, Im not even sure how to secure the seats properly. The previous owner completely changed to back in order to make a higher, permanent bed. Seeing as though this is total rebuild, are there potential upgrades or things to include in the build that we're not original that may make my life a little easier going forward?
Thank you for any assistance!
