Fantastic. Thank you very much, but as expected just swap all hoses and wires over to the new one and I should be good right?

All, Need some help. It appears I have developed a small leak in our hot water tank, has anyone replaced this themselves or have a write up. I am mechanically inclined and from the looks of (pics attached) that its pretty straight forward. What I would also like to know is when I am ready to bring power back up to the unit is there anything I should do before that, how will the tank fill without power to the coach or water tank. Any and all advice would be appreciated I will have to do this in camp and hoping for some help. Thank you, 1998 Beaver Contessa Viano Corey

Update to my problem has seemed to go away now. I think I just got over this problem, bought coach a year ago now, and here is the items I changed or experienced. 1st. Fuel was practically empty ( I am sure I sucked up some junk into fuel lines etc.) I bought from a dealer this way, fuel gauge said half but clearly wasn't. 2nd. Had it serviced to replace all fuel filters. (at this time started as I do with all diesels started adding diesel clean additive to fuel. 3rd. Also advised that the starter solenoid was bad installed the Napa one smoked it in 100 miles, replaced with the blue sea systems one for 175 bucks. 4th. Problem seemed to spread out but not eliminated, next suggested to replace ignition switch did that At this point this was about 3 trips at approx. 400 miles rt, coach would shutdown at least 2 times on the way out and 2 on the way in never leaving me stranded. The 4th trip going about 200 miles RT it died once going out and nothing on the way in. 5th trip all though short distance from home for a bike event, say 35 miles each way nothing ran like a top with no issues. My guess is it was a combination of all things fuel, starting solenoid, possibly ignition switch. I am preparing my next trip and also pointing out this rig gets topped off with fuel before storage every time now and will continue to add diesel clean on every fill. I was also advised ground, I thought that would be easy right, Freightliner had my coach for 6 weeks and took numerous test drives with no duplication of my problem. And also claimed they walked harness from front bay back to engine with no finding of bad grounds. I thought I was going to sell this now coming up on a year owning and now I am excited all over again hoping my problems in this area are gone.

Thank you Rich I went ahead and ordered one hopefully comes soon didn't want to replace several times if this will most likely solve this problem for the life that I own the rig.

Sorry, to be clear I see wires instead of terminals on all the pictures.

Thanks Rich so instead of post terminals you will hard wire/solder those correct?

Brett, So is the 9012 a 4 post solenoid, kind of hard to tell from any pictures or literature?
