Started filling up the tank on the Land commander. It started leaking near the wheel well. Maybe I'm doing it wrong? Is there a plug or something I should be paying attention to? Or, is there a good, economical way to replace the current metal tank and old plumbing with something new? It only runs a sink, no shower or toilet.

Re: I don't think my water system is going to work
Mon, June 29, 2009 - 2:24 PMI'm planning on replacing the hoses and connections. I don't see any pump, so I'm wondering if the thing is powered by air pressure? -

Tue, June 30, 2009 - 9:56 AMthose old metal tanks are run by air pressure. also there is probably a drain valve open. to check if you tank runs on air, see if there is a tire valve in the cap for the fill. i recommend putting a pump and vent on the thing for better reliability or you are going to have to get one of those 12 v air compressors so you can refill the air pressure -

Tue, June 30, 2009 - 11:47 AMThanks. There is a schraeder valve on the tank. Any chance I can use a bike pump to generate enough pressure? -

Tue, June 30, 2009 - 4:18 PMhows your stamina lol that's a lot of volume! the little emergency tire pumps that go in the cig litter work well

Wed, July 1, 2009 - 9:55 AMok after a nice hot shower i remembered which trailer you have!
the good news is for cheep you can have a no air required system! just take the valve out of the schrader, clamp a tube to it, and run it high enough that it won't leak with "slosh factor" then put a hand pump faucet in on the sink.
now the bad news, if you pour water down the drain, and it falls out on the ground, its a huge fine! this used to be perfectly legal but now you gotta retrofit a holding tank for it
