Hi, A very strange thing has occured with the fresh water tank capacity in our 2007 Chausson Allegro83.
Arrived on a site last week & filled the tank up, but after only a short while, the water started to gush out of the filler neck. On checking the control panel reading it only indicated 58 litrs?? when full it normaly shows 128 ltrs. So I reduced the flow thinking it was "backing up" but it still poured back out of the filler. The pump was on & the taps were being bled during the fill, as per normal. So I left it to see how long the water was going to last. It soon became obvious that there was only the 50 odd ltrs as we soon ran out quicker than we would normaly have expected.
Arriving back home, I re-filled the tank on it's dead-level hard standing, thinking the site we had been on, wasn't as level as we had thought, even though the spirit level indicated that we were level (You tend to grasp at any possible solution) but the reading was 72 ltrs??? with the water again over spilling from the filler.
I am baffled, it just doesn't make sense. Unless someone out there knows what's going on. The only thing that I have done that is different from the norm, is to have lowered the automatic drain safety switch to completely drain the system as we hadn't planned on using the MH for a few weeks. But as I've said earlier, both taps were open during the re-fill with the pump on to purge the system, & obviously the automatic drain valve back in the closed position..
Cheers
