Water leaks

Yahoo Message Number: 1791
I finally got my Greyhawk 33DS back from the dealer last Monday.
Remember the Norcold fridge fire last May? Well it was a time consuming
fix but I must admit they did a good repair job, you could never tell
it had a fire. had all the recall issues taken care of at the same
time. Now getting excited to head south for the winter.

Now my question is I seem to be constantly tightening faucet fittings,
today was the back of the toilet, had water leaking out of the bathroom
soaking the carpet, before that it was the hot water tap in the
bathroom and before that the kitchen taps. Almost seems like this has
to be something done on a regular maintenance schedule, they seem to
work loose on their own.

Any comments or ideas to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

They may never have been tight. When I replaced the kitchen sink. I
had to use a wrench to loosen the fittings. May be best to check all
fittings on MH to make sure you have no more leaks. Be sure to check
shower both inside and out. Water pump has similar fittings. As well
as water heater.
Are you using a regulator for city water?

I didn't have any problem with the water lines in the coach, because
the dealer where I picked it up pressurized the plumbing and did a
check for leaks. I did have a leak on the ice make line, on the back
of the frig. The biggest problem was the drain (pee traps) under the
sinks leaked.

Glad to hear they got it repaired and it looks so good.

Mine (32SS) was fine the first time I used it, but the second and third
time out I had leaks and had to go to each fitting and tighten them up.
None since then, but I keep checking them. My unit was pressurized and
checked when I picked it up, but for whatever reason they started
leaking shortly afterwards.

Take care,
Greg

They seem to loosen on their own. I have had the system pressure
tested and do use a pressure relase valve on the input. Guess I'll
just keep keeping an eye on them. Evidently I'm not the only one
having this problem.
