So as a newbie we picked up our 1st Jayco Expanda (2nd hand) and on inspection noticed water leaking under van. Place we bought it from fixed it (or so they said - knew I should have checked). When we went to do our shakedown at home noticed it leaking under van again and they had replaced the NRV pressure relief with just a JG one way valve.
I have now purchased a few plumbing bits and pieces including a JG NRV pressure relief valve and replaced what they had done.
So on testing, water just started pouring out from the inlet side of the valve. The only way I could stop it was by physically holding the join tight together. Even after several attempts of reseating the hose it still leaks. I just have to wonder due to the shortness of the inlet hose that it doesn't sit square enough in the seating to get a flush join in the connector. Open to thoughts on this.
Is it easy to replace the mains inlet hose coming from up on the side of the van so that i can get more hose underneath, to make for a better inline setup or should I just bypass this all together and setup a new mains connection point under the van where I can get it all running straight. If so not sure what parts are around for doing this with 12mm hose or does JG have something in their range.
Any help for a greehorn greatly appreciated.
