Hello,

I need some help on fixing the water leaks in my 99 eurovan. We used
the van thru the winter this year and like a dumbing I thought we
could still use the water tank. I drained it in mid winter realizing
my huge mistake but now after filling the water tank it leaks
everywhere. I don't think the tank itself is cranked but I'm sure the
water lines are. Does anyone know of a manual I could get that gives a
detailed breakdown of getting into the areas I need to look at to
check all the lines? Thanks for any help and I'm also bracing myself
for all the hecklers out there who will give me all kinds of grief for
being so stupid.

Yeah, you can see the whole list of diagrams (plumbing and wiring) for years and models since 1997 here:



I also got a Winnebago EVC tech manual from GoWesty (which also has diagrams).

Hi Michael:

If you saw my posting of last week you will see I am CURRENTLY involved in the IDENTICAL problem with my 97 EVC. I buy and sell these EVCs and bought a 97 where the tank had leaked and really wrecked the gray floor in the middle area.

The EVC service manual (available thru GoWesty for about $21.00) is really the best clue of how to get these tanks out. The problem is VERY difficult to say the least, as after 4 days effort it is still NOT out due to Winnebago design flaws.

Too LENGTHY to go in on an email, but if you want to call me in Michigan at 248-546-1207 we can talk as like I said I am still working on this almost every day.

You must get the water out, however, as my previous owner did not, and the underlayment under the gray vinyl material is OSB (compressed wood) and it will ROT OUT, causing it to need to be replaced almost completly. To replace most of the OSB involves removing almost all the cabinets other than the really big one. Once new OSB is installed, one must find new gray vinyl floor covering. It is NO LONGER available thru Winnegbago, but I have found it thru a supplier in Washington, and two yards plus shipping is only $50.00.

Unless you get the water out IMMEDIATELY the OSB (Oriented strand board) will almost certainly turn to mulch (it is made up of compresssed wood chips) and have to be replaced. If your OSB has absorbed a lot of water if may be too late, and the OSB acts a sponge.

By the way it MAY be necessary to remove the water tank in chunks, as Winnebago designed the cabinet around it in such a way that (up unti now) I still have not figured how to get it out in one piece.

The ONLY good think so far is to find that the tank is still available thru Winnebago at at cost of $185.00 plus shipping. To buy it however, you need to go to Mobility RV their selling company in Iowa. You can find them on their website and call their 800 number.

Call me if you wish and I will tell you what I know so far. Perhaps we can help each other figure how to get the "beast" out other than cutting it up in chunks.

Thanks for the help I really appreciate it.
