I think that's a good plan, @ReenieG. Assuming you have sufficient fluid in the expansion tank, if there is a leak it will resurface soon enough. In the meantime, camp on! :-)
pthomas745: Your advice was spot on. I opened the driver's side cabinet--where a shower would be on other models--and behold: the water pump had become dislodged from it's cradle on the wall. As a result, the supply side of the pump, where the water comes in, had become loose allowing water to spritz (is that a word?) out, creating the problem mentioned above. I remounted the pump (not easy unless one is a contortionist), tighted the connection, and voila... all better.
Correct, no cut off switch for solar or tow vehicle charging. Don't see a need for that. I've looked at a lot of other set ups on different sites and don't recall seeing a cut off switch for those items. Plus you can turn off solar charging via the victron app. Or you can pull the fuse. You may have a need?
The dedicated line to power the emergency brakes is a personal preference on my part. I like knowing that I would not mistakenly leave a switch off while traveling making them useless in the unlikely event they are needed. I do have a fuse in line that I can pull if I need to disconnect power to them.
I am by far not an expert...just sharing what I've learned. You can also ask your question here. I post at these sites to get info. and solve problems The first one has many very knowledgeable people..mostly with big rigs, but very friendly and helpful. They have helped me with a bunch of electrical questions.
@ReenieG, since the expansion tank is part of the glycol loop, there has to be two hoses attached to it (one flowing in and one flowing out). In your last photo, the missing hose would be the one on the left that appears to be coming down from the area where the expansion tank is located. I think you just took your photo at the exact perfect angle to completely hide the second hose.
As for your drips... The tank is the high point in the system so there is not much above it to leak. A crack in the tank, a disconnected overflow, or a poorly fitting cap could all allow a little glycol to leak out and dribble down the tank. However, spilling while filling is probably the most likely culprit.
@Sneakle, I think the short answer is "no", not enough flex in the hoses and a couple are too short to let you lift the reservoir up enough to get to the hose clamps on the bottom of the tank. I have a 2015 so the pics I have might not help much. I'm guessing your leak is a crack in the tank where the hose(s) connect to it. I had to take the bench seat back and bottoms out in order to find enough room to get my hose clamp pliers to the clamps holding the hoses to the bottom of the tank. Once you've gotten the clamps out of your way you can "carefully" work the hoses off the 2 connections. You're first going to have to remove enough glycol from the system so the level is below the point at which you are working. If you don't you'll find that the glycol will "self level" all over the bottom of your T@b I'd suggest picking up 3 rubber stoppers that are 1" at the large end and 3/4" at the small end. They will be very helpful in plugging the ends of the disconnected hoses while you are working on the tank. There is a thread somewhere where an owner was repairing his cracked reservoir hose connections, I'll see if I can find it and post it to you.
@Nanabirdie, I have seen no benefit in draining the entire tank. The whole idea is to create an air cushion. I take that to mean a bit of air space at upper level of the tank. Therefore, since Alde provides no rationale for draining the entire tank, I just open the relief valve for about 10 seconds or so approximately every 10 days. Alde does not explain what will happen if you don't at least do that, but it is very easy to do, so I would recommend doing the "10-10" (my mnemonic, not Alde's) routine to be safe. But, as always, I am interested to hear any contrary input that others may have on the subject.
Maybe of interest to @rickpool I just slotted the litime 230ah battery next to the AC. people often put smaller batteries here, but this one seems to be a perfect fit. See attached pic.
