Bummer. Probably froze and cracked a fitting. I doubt that the
tank itself
is cracked.
Anyway, I've never done it, but according to the Winnie service
training
manual:
1. Remove the rear seat.
2. Remove the left side panel compartment
a. Remove 11 plastic caps and the screws
b. Pull panel free of vehicle
3. Remove the rest of the panel and bed support
a. Disconnect wires to the 12v receptacle and water pump switch
(don't
short circuit them)
b. Remove rear cover from 110v outlet by prying locking tabs
outward.
Remove wires from the outlet.
c. Disconnect water tank fill and vent lines at panel
d. Disconnect shower head
e. Remove breaker panel. (no instructions given for this)
f. Remove rear panel from vehicle.
4. Remove water tank access panel
a. Remove duct box by disconnecting duct hose and removing 4
retaining
screws
b. Remove the access panel retaining screws. 5 screws on the
lower
edge and 6 on the upper edge which are accessed from inside the
wardrobe and
small galley door openings.
5. Fix the problem and put it all back together again
6. Be sure to drain system every fall or add antifreeze!!
This is a bit cryptic, and manual has a couple of unhelpful line
drawings,
nothing else. It looks like the water tank access panel is behind
the
furnace. But you should be able to figure this out as you go.
Someday I'll scan this manual and put it in the archives.

Subject: [ev_update] Water Leak from Fresh Water Tank on 1999
Winnebago EVC
I bought my 1999 EVC with a slow water leak on the center floor
with
the gray vinyl material. The leak over time has destroyed the OSB
board, and I have a new board to install and even found the
original
gray vinyl material from a source in Washington state.
However, this afternoon I refilled the water tank close to the top
and and am finding water along the driver's side inside wall behind
the small water pump. Winnebago tech support has told me that is
rare that the 13 gallon water tank will itself develop a leak. At
this point it appears to me that this tank will have to be removed
to
see where the leak may be coming from. Winnebago support said they
have seen very few EVCs so they are not sure how it comes out. The
only two choices that I see, are the furnace removes and the tank
slides out thru the rear hatch, or MORE LIKELY, the entire rear
built
in cabinet on the driver's side has to first be removed to examine
the water tank and its fittings.
Does anyone have experience on how to proceed, and if the side wall
of cabinets have to be removed, just how would one proceed doing
such
a thing? I understand that the cabinet attaches to the floor with
screws, but the top part of the cabinet where it ajoins the roof
leaves me a bit confused.
Please help if you have some knowledge here, and if you want to
email
me a phone number at Asic00@sbcglobal. <mailto:Asic00%
40sbcglobal.net> net
that would help too.
Thanks for any assistance. Randy in Michigan 248-546-1207
