One leak down, one to go

In a previous post I mentioned that I have a leak to fix.  Actually there was a second one also.  Whenever our fresh water system was under pressure from the pump or shore water there was a drip.  It was coming from the street-side rear quarter panel.  Right under where the shore water connects.  I didn’t see anything inside the trailer under my bed, liquid or otherwise.  There was nothing coming out on the outer skin of the trailer.  It was an annoying leak but a bit more critical than the other one.  So I tackled it.

I started by removing the blue plastic in the lower rub rail.  I have some new plastic so I was not careful with it.  I then removed the actual rub rail (aluminum piece) which was about 10 rivets.  Next came the removal of the lower cowling (plastic) and another 8 rivets.  I could see below the floor now but the water was coming from under the outer skin.  I removed the shore water connector/pressure regulator.  I could see an area where it appeared to be leaking.

I was amazingly able to find one of these locally.  I installed it, using some teflon tape on the threads.  It has now been under water pump pressure for 3 days with NO LEAKS!

One to go before San Clemente.
