Be sure to check the large hose connection to the tank. If you have a ribbed hose, it is not uncommon for an incorrect connection to cause a leak there.

Everything works great except when we fill the tank, water leaks out of the drain channel on either side of the van (depending which way the van is leaning). The channel runs under the flooring at the base of the rear bench. We were told that was normal but we noticed on the inside of the fill port lid it says to shut off the water at the first sign of water at the weep hole on the fill port. Water never comes out of that weep hole, it only ever drains out of one side or the other if the van. Now that we're in a damp climate the water isn't drying and we're starting to smell mildew. We're trying a dehumidifier to dry things up but we want this to work properly in the future. Any thoughts? She's an 87 westy. Thanks! Jared
