Water Soaked Basement Compartments

Recommended Posts

We have a new to us 2001 Safari Serengeti.  Our newest issue is a untraceable water leak in the basement compartments.  It began during our summer trip...we filled the tanks and thought it was leaking from the pump area but since returning home have drained the water tank and believe it is a rain water leak.  

The compartment to the left of the door which is under the fridge( works great), is the wettest and the compartment on the opposite side of the coach is also wet.  

Any ideas of what to do?  Take to rv repair for pressure leak test?  We had to replace the radiator and fix wiring which went bad to the tune of $11,000.  Satellite also failed( newly installed...worked great...until) $200.  today....love rving but not these expensive problems.  

Any help is greatly appreciated:rolleyes:

Herman.  Not for both sides of coach. You need the Union 15 min. break..:P

Sflute. Welcome to the forum!   Your thought about a roof leak test, is a good place to start...capillary action from roof makes more sense, than my other thoughts!

Luck.

Carl, Sflute,

I do not think that is on track for this one. But the question bodes asking have you been in wet weather lately? Pressure test is a really good Idea. Do not do it with water, a bigger mess. Do it with air, an opportunity to buy another tool and a little compressor a whole lot less than Camping World or other.  Empty the system and then pull the water anode rod. Make or buy a fitting from Home Depot or Camping World and charge the system with 30 to 50 PSI and start looking. It will not take long to find it hissing away. Easy way to maintain pressure set regulator on that new compressor for the desired setting. Do not use a tire filler chuck, plumb the hose right into the system and you will have a constant volume of air with out running back and forth and you honey will thing you are a genius! Call or PM me glad to help have a couple of Safari coaches at present 2001 Zanzibar and 1999 Panther
