Hi, our Westfali conversion has a built in water tank that appears to leak from somewhere and out from under the bed.
I have inspected it as far as I can with it in situ, but now I want to take it out and check it for cracks etc.
How do I remove it without dismantling everything?

Re: Leaky water tank removal
It would more likely be a fitting that has become leaky.
Unless it has frozen solid

As above. The inlet would be the most likely place it would leak inside the van.
I'd drain it to half full and see if it leaks with the van stationary.
The cupboard is fixed to both the wardrobe and cooker unit but you may be able to get it out without removing the cooker unit.

Mario(MV Engineering) says he filled it from outside and it didnt leak.
We filled it with just a few litres of water from inside using the lid in the cupboard and it peed everywhere... It makes no sense...
