Cracked water tank

[widogmom]

Ok, problem du jour with the 2015 Sunseeker 3010DS we just brought home May 22nd. Sanitized, flushed, and filled fresh water tank early this week (we used "city" water for MDW; full hook-up) and yesterday the bedroom carpet was soaking, squishy wet. Took it in to the dealer and they found a crack in the water tank by the fill inlet. They want to take it to a car dealer who does work for them for the crack to be "fixed" (with something non-toxic, I hope).

Should I permit this, or hold out for a new tank? We're already losing one camping weekend (paid in full, unfortunately... bye bye, money) and I'm sure if we order a replacement tank it won't be in for weeks. Our next two trips after this lost one are full hook-up, so we'd be on "city" water anyway. Anybody ever dealt with this problem? Thanks!

My son had a crack a few weeks back in his fresh water tank down by the suction fitting on a new Silverback. The unit was new, so we wanted and got a new tank. There are plastic repair options available that sometimes work and sometimes don't work very long. Your tank does alot of flexing during use ... if it is a new unit, I'd want new replacement parts not a "gosh I hope this fixes it" repair. A missed camping opportunity just has to be taken in stride sometimes.

Thanks, I agree completely. Unfortunately, I just got a call that they "fixed" it and it is on its way back to the dealer for testing. I guess I fall into the "gosh I hope this fixes it" category now. The punchline? We may have already missed our camping reservation anyway. *sigh* Thanks again very much for the advice!
