• How To Stop Fresh Water Tank In RV From Leaking
• The water leaking is normal its your overflow which means that your fresh tank is now full. If you install a valve on the overflow then it needs to be open when filling and when using or else the tank could explode. It could also be that your check valve went bad. The Valterra Check Valve for RV Fresh Water Systems # P23415LFVP has dual 1/2 inch MPT. The Valterra Check Valve for RV Fresh Water Systems # P23402LFVP has a 1/2 inch MPT x 1/2 inch FPT.

• Can Multiple RV Heater Pads with Thermostat 277-000163 Be Wired Together
• My contact at Patrick Industries advised that their RV Heater Pad with Thermostat # 277-000163 could be parallel wired in up to 3 pads total provided that the DC power source has enough current for the 5.8-amp draw from each pad. Typically a 15-amp circuit can handle three since they cycle on and off. These pads are suitable for your 45-gallon grey and black water tanks; one per tank is enough according to my contact. For your 70-gallon fresh water tank you'll want to use two and position...

• What Is The Longest RV Water Hose Available?
• If you're looking for a heated water hose like the AquaFresh Heated Drinking Water Hose for RV's # W01-5350, 50' is the longest hose we carry. If you're looking for a standard water hose, the longest hose we carry is the Camco RV Drinking Water Hose - 5/8" Inner Diameter # CAM22803, which is 75' long. We do not offer a hose at that length you're asking about, unfortunately. If you wanted a longer hose, you'd have to connect two # CAM22803 hoses together.

• Why Can't You Use an Electric Water Pump with Valterra Fresh Water Tanks
• The Valterra ABS water tanks like the 30 gallon # R8060 are baffled for surge control and made from lightweight ABS plastic, so they're just not designed to handle to additional pressure that is created from an electric water pump sucking the water out of the tank. Using an electric water pump would void the manufacturer's warranty in the event of any malfunction.

• Fresh Water Tank Fittings Needed for Replacement Tank
• I've attached the fresh water fittings page so you can get the connections you need. I unfortunately can't give you parts without knowing the hose measurements and the tank measurements.

We have 1/2 inch, 3/8 inch, and 1/4 inch straight fittings and the same in elbow adapter fittings....

You will most likely need a Adapter Module # HBA-CAM for your factory brake controller but be sure to check...

• Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2020 Ram 1500 - Air Bags or Sumo Springs
• As you've mentioned, air bags would be an option for your 2020 Ram 1500 that will provide you with the ability to inflate the air bags to different pressures, which means a stiffer or softer ride depending on the air pressure. They're a really great option if you're ok with the more in depth installation and the other draw back is that in order to have the best experience using them, you'll likely also want to add an on board compressor system. As long as they're installed properly, leaks...
