Unwanted Water in the Underbelly - do you have any? Better double check...

[agoutdoors]

I seem to be cursed with our brand new 385TH. First an axle issue, now this...

When I was dealing with the axle issue, I noticed water dripping from between the frame and the plastic cardboard covering the underbelly where the freshwater tank was along with one septic holding tank. Keep in mind I had yet to use the trailer so I had not put water in it. So either the manufacture had for testing or the dealer had. It was winterized by the dealer prior to me taking possession.

The dealer said they checked it out after fixing my axle issue but they said "we saw no signs of water"...that didn't add up with me. After a discussion with GD about it, I let them know I would be doing my own investigation, they said OK and let them know what I found.

I found a lot of water. See the links for video and the below pictures:

Both of these were taken after some water had poured out, then I decided I should video.



I did some basic testing of water lines and sewer lines with the underbelly cover partially removed but saw now obvious signs of new water.

So with that information, and another phone call with GD, they authorized me to get a 3rd party to come out and take a look.

He came out on Monday and we completely cut out and removed the cover to give us full access to everywhere we needed to get to really so some testing and get our heads into the void spaces.

The good news is we found no leaks in any part of the fresh water system or the septic systems. Bad news is we did discover what we believe to be the reason why there is water in the rear underbelly AND the front underbelly.
