Al F Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 I would start looking near the fresh water connector where you connect your water hose. Also, usually, there is a gravity fill tube which leads directly to the water tank, find that and maybe that will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newt Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Listen for the water pump. It's usually over the fresh water tank. Newt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianT Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Ours is a different brand but it wouldn't surprise me if they're similar in tank placement. Ours are located between the frame rails with the fresh water tank just forward of the axles. The black and gray tanks occupy the space moving forward between the frame rails in similar fashion. Do you have any hints such as seeing where the inlet on your water pump is coming from? Or maybe a fresh water drain of some kind underneath?

Rif Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 I'd check for an overflow tube sticking out the bottom. It should be somewhere near that. On my Teton the water pump is in the forward bay, as is the fill connection. The fresh tank is located above the axles and below the floor in a location that is impossible to get to without cutting through from underneath. The only way I know approximately where they are located is the two overflow lines that stick out of the bottom to the rear of the third axle.

Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Not being the wise guy, but have you called a Mobile Suites dealer and asked? Or the factory service dept? Might be the easiest idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newt Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 There should be a drain tube underneath. I doubt they route it far from the tank. Newt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KodiakJack Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Noticed a drip at the water tanks drain. Though maybe the valve was leaking. Not so. Water was leaking from up hill of the drain. Cut away the underbelly liner to access drain. No leak there. Drain hose goes off into underbelly never land. Cut open more underbelly and pulled down for access. Wow water all over the place. I am now w-e-t! Just happened to be the easiest way out for the water was where the drain penetrated the underbelly. Cut loose 10-feet of underbelly and lowered to find leak (ABS fitting from front gray tank). Found water tank in the process. It is between frame members centered over the axels (about 4-feet from location of tank drain). Good luck finding yours. Later, J PS Yep the insulation was soaked and had to replace it all. PSS Found that the "Peel & Seal Aluminum" self-stick roof repair tape worked well to put the underbelly back in place. I used the 6.25 inch wide stuff.

Dwain & Debbie Posted February 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 i did call the factory. what he told me does not jive with the frame layout. will start look for drain tubes, i can see the water fill line for a short space then goes over cross member. so i do have like an 8 x4 area to cut open. thanks for all the advise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retispcsi Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 On my 2015 rssa the drain hose is about in line with the rear of the compartment door. If you open the slide in the storage area you will find the drain value. You may need a flashlight as they hide it down near the bottom. Open the value and see where he water drains. You tank should be very near. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwain & Debbie Posted February 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 i found the tank found drain and fill lines. there is a cross member about 30 in back and i can see some of the tank behind it. i will need to cut the bottom open just inward of the front tire. will post when i do have it in hand so to speak.
