Went to fill up my fresh water tank today, and noticed its leaking where it exits the sill to head to the tank.
Has anyone changed one of these from the filler cap to the tank?
Looks quite a pain, as it goes diagonally down the bodywork, then a fairly tight turn through the sill.
Just wondering what the best method of changing this might be.

This is one of the few things that hasn't needed attention on our Harmony over the years! However I think you may be able to access the rear of the filler cap and assist the pipe threading process by removing the rear panel from your kitchen cupboards. I did this to check the routing of wiring to the fridge last year.

Well I've ordered the hose, and had the filler off to have a look, looks like it might not be too bad.
The plan is to put a length of garden hose through the old one, pull old one out, tape new one to hose and pull through.

How did it go; I'm faced with the same challenge.

very fiddely. i put a length of garden hose down through the old one, then removed old,leaving the gsrden hose in place. ithen taped the new pipe to the hose to help pull it though, but the new hose was slightly wider than the old so was difficult to get through the holes in the body work. i had to stick my hand though the hole for the filler to help feed it through.
i did discover later though that if you remove the water heater first, it would be quite easy.

Blimey it is tricky to get it through the lower hole in the body work! Job done now though. Thanks for sharing.
