WATER PROBLEMS
Sounds like the fresh tank is overflowing. Mine will do the same thing when
it is overfilled. Just turn off the tank fill switch and it should quit. Full water pressure will be delivered to the coach by shore water. Your sporlan Valve may be malfunctioning..

WATER PROBLEMS
Re Brake, I have just been "fiddling" with the water system on my 81FC35. The
Sporlan was stuck all or slightly open, This causes a few things, first, it will let shore line water pressure charge the lines in the coach as well as try to fill the storage tank (depending on how much it is stuck), this will ultimately result on water coming out of the tank overflow and running on the ground. If it were to stick closed (not energized, as if outside switch were in off position, even if you hold it on "fill"), you would get water out of the inside coach lines, but not fill the tank. On my rig, the valve was stuck slightly open adn I could not get water pressure in the coach from the onboard water pump, the pump would run, but the water just ran around in a closed circut adn never build pressure. The valve I worked on is under the drivers side bed, betweed teh water tank and the hot water heater, mounted to the floor. It has a little tag on it that says "Sporlan" (I think that is some other language for "finicky). You can take it apart by removing the 4, 3/8 bolts and check it out. Don't lost the little spring. Re-build kits are available. Good Luck, Doug putneyflash@... wrote: Thanks is that the valve in the water line that diverts the water from tank to coach when the water tank switch is turned on?

WATER PROBLEMS
Mine is labeled "Tank Fill" it is located in the outside compartment right
beside where you hook up the fresh water hose. If the sporlan valve is working correctly, tank should not overfill if in the off position. I had to install a rebuild kit- from Stephen Birtles, and all is well. Easy to replace once the bed, and wood is out of the way.
