Hi All,
Need some help identifying my issue and help walking back from the ledge
.
2021 Thor Daybreak 30db Class C
Dometic GC6AA-10E (6 gallon tanked water heater)
On our last trip we had water leaking from the back of our water heater and across the floor of the RV. (Our water heater is in the slide and a pain in the butt to get to.) I shut off the cold water intake into the water heater and we went the rest of the trip without hot water and we had no more leaks.
Today I went and tested it. When I first turned everything on (gas and electric plus water pump) I ran each faucet and made sure there was no leaks.
When the water heater is cold (low pressure) there is no leaks.
Perplexed, I sat there for a couple minutes and let the water heater work. After 5-10 minutes, I could hear a hissing sound and finally started to see some water coming out.
Water starting to puddle/leak.
Once again I checked all the fittings and could not find any water coming out. I went outside and there are some drips coming out of the high pressure fitting, but not near enough to flood the RV like what was starting to happen again.
All fittings seem tight and no leaks
Water dripping out of the high pressure fitting
Water on the outside
What else can I check/do? Is there something I'm missing to check? Should I try to just replace the high pressure fitting first? Or could my water heater be cracked?
