Didn't winterize, Water leak.

[PhilsToPhx]

We have a 2021 Cherokee Alpha Wolf 27RK-L. We didn't winterize it. We live in Fayetteville NC and normally don't, But this year we went out of country for 6 weeks in Dec and had an unexpected sever cold snap. All of the drains were open and faucets were opened, usually that's enough and we're here to turn on the furnace when it's extremely cold. When I put 20 gallons of water in the fresh water tank the water pump worked but didn't build enough pressure. Later I hooked up the city water connection and found that the pump and pump filter were leaking. Before I decided to do a check and put in a bypass for the pump and tuned on the city water to see if there were any other leaks, there were. I can't find them but from under the trailer at the fresh water drain there is another hose. Any ideas where it goes? There's nothing in that area inside that has water and it's were the slide goes when closed.

I believe that's your fresh water tank overflow. My Cherokee 39RL has a similar set up, the fresh water tank drain and overflow are side by side. Perhaps someone with your exact model can comment.

for a simple test.... use the white tank drain to empty about 5 gallons
does that stream stop?

Disconnect city water too
if it is the overflow and the pump oneway valve is leaking/open the tank can fill up
