Hi all, my van is a 1998 Lunar Solar 505 which we took away for the weekend and as usual heated a tank of water for use. However after heating the tank we noticed the water pump kept coming on and off every couple of minutes. Having just sorted out the pressure adjustment for the water pump I assumed this was the cause and I gave it no real thought and just thought I'd sort it in the morning.
The next morning however my daughter was at the side of the van and notified me that water was escaping out the heater cowling, quite badly too. I screwed the cowling off and discovered it was leaking from what looks like a nut in the centre of the unit. As such I reduced use of the water pump thinking it was only on the outside. However today my wife discovered wet carpet and I traced the wet back under the blanket box to the water heater.
Not knowing a lot about the water heater I'm wondering A. Can it be repaired with a simple seal? and B. Where would I get such seal? What would I be asking for?
