The water pours out the side of the motorhome when driving, particularily when turning a corner. I took it to Camping World and they claim nothing is wrong with it and that it doesn't have a leak. I don't think it has a *leak*, but it never used to pour out the side of the MH when driving. I can fill it up one weekend, drive around town for the week, and only have 1/4 tank left at the end of the week. I travel with my dogs often and really need the water. I can sure use your HELP! Thanks.

My ClassC used to 'spill' a little on corners if I got the tank too full and took the corner a little too fast. But NOT down to 1/4 full. What size/kind of MH ??...What size is tank ??
When you notice the water spilling out have you stopped to see/feel where the water is coming from?? Feeling for wet spots may give a clue where the water 'leak'is.
Hopefully someone on here can help with a solution. GoodLuck Kate

Park horizontal on a significant downhill slope with the tank full. Perhaps you will see the source of the leak?
Or, drive the rig up on a ramp or curb on one side for same effect?

Pours out should be easy to find. Have someone stand at a corner and watch as you go around to verify what side or area the water comes from. Go around a few times if needed so your spotter can reposition better. If they know anything about an RV you should easily tear in and find the trouble once you know where. My only guess is the fill or pump connections that go into the fresh tank are not sealed.

I was thinking the Fill connection also if it splashing out when moving and not leaking standing still.

I have a 24" Tioga. Here's the thing. It appears to be just pouring out of the *fill* on the side of the motorhome.

There should be a check valve in the fill, to prevent slosh back out the filler. If you are getting down to 1/4 tank, you are really putting Rv at some steep angles or you have another source of leak at a lower point than fill.

George,
Is the check valve in the fill the little air hole next to the fill hole?

Might be the check valve in your fresh water connection is bad. Check by running the pump to see if it is leaking there. Easy to replace.

Ours will siphon out of the overflow drain, I just put a clamp on it if I want to have a full tank where I am going; ie boon docking, I don't bother if I'm going to a campground.
