Dam and blast..... (1 Viewer)

[old-mo]

Thought I would drive the M-home back and forth on the drive to shine up the brakes...

Decided to change position on hard standing, not been moved for a few months...

All started OK, brakes not jammed on so that`s OK, put it up ramps to level it and decided to have a look inside hab area..

Bloody great wet patch on the carpet by one of the seats which house the boiler..

Thought it had an auto dump switch.... obviously NOT...

Found a little red lever and lifted it and about 2 - 3 gallons ran out under the M-home...

So hopefully it is just a hose that has frozen and split...

Gonna have to get some one to have a look before I flog it... I can`t get down to fix it and looks like most of the sliding seat + will have to be dismantled..

Sorry to hear this, hopefully a local funster could help out and have a look for you.

The jokes on you this time

Hope it's easily fixed doesn't sound too bad but you are a silly sod expecting a van of that age to have an auto dump valve.

Just a damp patch about the size of a large dinner plate, Dave...

But not sure what awaits under the seat...

Will have to wait a few weeks till we move....

I realise that NOW.............

When did they start using auto dump valves then..?

Hi Mo,
Just refill and pressurize and have a look with a torch or a mirror on a stick to see where the leak is coming from.
Then re-drain again.

Brit vans it was a lot later a lot of them not until well into the 2000's. Trumer instructions often refer to the "manual dump valve fitted to British vans".

Not soon enough in your case.

Sure you weren't sitting there before the damp patch emerged Mo?

Hope all turns out an easy fix and 2021 is a better year than this for you.
