Question
Water has stopped coming out of faucets, supply is fine,cannot find a leak anywhere, I was running water into bathtub and I may have heard a slight thunk, did something shut me down? This is a Dutchmen LE, 1998.

Answer
these are very fun, i am going to try and help you hear but you are going to have to have alot of common sence to make this work right, what i want you to do is turn everything off in your camper, all of the water faucets, everything, tolet if you can get to it and heater tank, then put your hose to the outside of the camper and hook it up, Hold the hose in one hand and kink it so that the water can not flow threw it, and then turn the water on. while you are holding the hose let the water start to "fill" the camper until you ether dont feel that the water is coming threw the hose anymore or that it doesnt stop and you can feel that water flowing into the camper non stop.

If the water stops and no longer flows into the camper then you have a major blockage in a line somewhere and should be taken to a professional to assest you, IF you are in the area i would say Erics Rv Center in virginia Beach, va. (757) 473-9383

IF the water feels like it is jsut running into the camper without stopping, You have a major leak somewhere and should refrain from using the water until you find the leak, water damage is very costly.

Hope this helps, iF anything it will give you an idea at what you are looking at.
