Any words of wisdom would greatly help!
I usually use a can to fill the fresh water tank as only been doing short journeys but used a hosepipe and filled it to the brim a few weeks back. Since then I have had two massive leaks into the van when the van is standing and just gone out to it now and soaked again. Would I have dislodged a seal or something when I filled the tank?
I’ve looked inside the tank and can’t see any apparent holes or plugs that may be loose. It all looks intact. Would this red outlet cause an issue maybe or do tanks just fail as it’s a 2008 van? I have got someone coming out woukd just like some ideas whilst I wait as due to go away for the weekend. Dry all around the water pump too as that’s on top of the tank. Thank you!

I would almost guarantee it’ll be one of those plugs. Best to drain off and unassemble the plugs then re-assemble with some fernox sealing gel either side of each seal. Leave to cure for 24 hours.

We had similar on a tank heater seal we had fitted, been perfect since my remedy.
 
That’s what I was thinking Chazzer924 either the black or the red one. I can’t untighten it myself by hand so I’ll wait for the man who can to be able to come. So frustrating 🤬
Thank you.
