2011 r pod getting it ready for summer and one of the bypass valves is leaking. Looks like it had been repaired as there was a clump of silicon on it in a area where there should be none. I retrofitted the bed for easier access to the valves. The people making the campers really need to brush up on their woodworking skills. The piping is pex but the fittings they use are not standard. So back to the dealer. We are lucky to have caught the leak on opening. No there was no water in the camper as we blew out all the hoses at 20 psi then put in antifreeze. Love the camper but I am disappointed today that's for sure.

I replaced the plumbing on the water heater by-pass assembly with Pex pipe.I installed ball valves and metal fittings. Total cost about $30.00. Well worth it in the long run as the cheap plastic is gone.
