I can't believe I just pushed that button.
 Anyway now that I have your attention. I was just getting the carr-pod ready for a three week trip to northern ontario when I discovered a leak in the fresh water tank. Don't know how it happened but the plastic has cracked around the drain plug and the water pretty much just pours out. I have made a temporary patch and the dealer says that a crack can be plastic welded. I have checked the internet and it looks like it can be repaired. Hopefully the tank doesn't have to be removed. I have no idea how much that will cost. My dealer (Campkins) is looking into a possible warranty claim but I am not holding my breath. Has anyone had any expierance like this? I thought the tank had to be replaced. What a thing too find only hours before leaving on a major trip. Luckily I am a little handy with tools unlike my posting ability. Ed

Plastic welding works fine if done properly. Used all the time on motorcycle fairings and such.

Sorry to hear about this. Epoxy might be a good temp fix too? Just check and make sure however you temporarily repair it doesn't affect the integrity of the drinking water.

I also bought my rpod at Campkins - they're a great dealer, with a great service department. If they say it can be plastic welded, they can do it. No worries.
