Water Leak

[kb9bg]

Tom:

Thanks for the reply...I'll try that and that seems to make sence since I notice
the air line conected to this unit...

I'll have to start the coach up and build up the air and cycle the air switch as
you mentioned....

I'll do this tomorrow after work and before I go pluging the round type
hole....I just feel the hole is there for a reason and the air switch just might
of been left in the wrong position from my winterizing procedure.

Thanks....

Any other thoughts from the group before I go and screw the unit up...HE HE!!

Where your water heater controls (mine are in a trap door on the side of
the bed frame) are you will find the air pressure switch. Cycle it a couple
of times and the leak should go off. I had the same problem a while ago.
