Galley Gray Water Tank Problem

[Fonz46]

I have a 2014 Bighorn 3570 RS that I'm having a problem with the galley gray tank leaking onto the coroplast and eventually overflowing. I haven't dropped the Coroplast yet to determine where the leak may be coming from and thought I would see if anyone else has had a similar problem before I start.

As a follow up to my previous post, I have determined the leak on my Galley grey tank is coming from the top of the tank. I don't see any water leaking until the tank is almost full. It would seem to me the tank is cracked near the top or the vent connection has come loose. There's no access that I can find to view the top of the tank. Any ideas or suggestions would certainly be welcome.

I have the same problem on my Torque. Maybe someone will chime in here.

I had the same problem on my '15 LM. Only leaked when full or close to full. Turned out to be where the vent tube connected to the tank. It took the dealership about 2 hrs to fix. Unfortunately I'm not sure what they did to fix it. No problems since though.

Same thing hear, I did find where the leak was though. Once the tank starts to get full it flexes to much, putting to much pressure on the out going pipe. I just leave the gate open as you said. Very seldom do dry camping anyway.

I don't like to leave the gates open so I just keep an eye on the level indicators and dump them when they get between 1/2 & 3/4 full.

Might be worth purchasing a snake camera... They're pretty cheap these days, then you'll know what you're dealing with...

I had the same problem on mine. It would only leak if the tank was full. I got a bright flashlight and an inspection mirror to look at the top of the tank. The tank has several plumbing ports at the top. One of the ports was not used and was completely open. I plugged the hole and haven't had any more leaks.
