Fire Hazard - Ernie E - 06-25-2010 01:59

After removing a fresh water tank on an SP, we found that the freeze protection
mat had scorched the bottom of the tank and the plywood floor. It had been so
hot in the past to scorch a plastic zip tie. Anyone that has this setup should
absolutely discontinue using it. I will post a few photos in the photo section
and will title it fire hazard.

Ernie
That tank is in the bathroom closet,right?
They are a plastic tank and most owners have had to replace or repair that tank.
The 91 SP 36 I owned had been replaced with a stainless steel tank.
I can now see one reason why so many of those tanks required repair or replacement.

Correct, the tank has a couple of stress cracks. I was surprised that there is just one plastic pipe running to this unit.

Probably one helpful solution if the tanks are still holding water,is to find the power source for that heat pad and remove it and any trace of it!!

The heater bad looks like a water bed heater but has 15 volts and Bluebird stamped on it. Museum piece for sure

Where is the Blue Bird Museum?
Rick Archie's nursery building?
Or the Quartzsite fire pit?

Ken, not the fresh water tank in your Coach. You have a small space heater attached to a gray square D thermostat control
