  1. Hi,

    The fitting is probably spun welded to the tank. I had the same problem with my black water tank at the three inch drain fitting. I had to replace the tank.

    i might suggest you look at https://www.recpro.com/universal-rv-holding-tank-installation-fittings-kit/. These fittings are installed from the outside of the tank and work quite well. If you have access to the leaky fitting and if there is enough land, perhaps cut out the leaking fitting using hole saw and replace with a larger size one. Then you can plug the new fitting.

    good luck.

  2. Why would you not be safe running fridge, especially using ac power only? Why are you worried about all this? It is probably more risky driving the freeways in a RV than worrying about these other things. It is all about the level of risk you want to take based upon factual data. Only you can assess this for yourself. 

  3. Sure, install a switch in the panel and cut one wire to the alarm and route thru switch. Could even use momentary switch if you are worried about turning off. If you really want to get fancy install a time delay relay between the switch and buzzer and set it for a few minutes. The alarm Will then be enabled automatically.

  4. In my humble opinion, it depends on what kind of use the coach is getting. Heavily loaded long trips over rough roads such as multiple alaska highway trips (frost heaves), or heavy gravel use, change arms proactively.
     

    If just wandering interstates a few times a year, and not overloading...inspect arms every so often. A crack will be  be apparent.

    When they break it is noticeable. Ours swayed and fishtailed. We were not towing but had a 800 Lb cycle on a lift on the back. Stopped safely and called tow.
