Bought a 10 year old RV with these on, and they'd leaked out. Is this a common problem? Not even sure how that could have happened if they're sealed?

The plastic used to make these levels ages badly when exposed to the sun. They will develop leaks depending on sun exposure time. They are rather inexpensive to replace.

On April 25th, we took delivery of a brand new 2016 camper with these installed. This camper was special ordered and was newly assembled in April, so it did not have time to sit anywhere. The one on the front leaked out in less than two weeks. The one on the side is fine. We ordered another set of these. The only issue I have with having to replace the bad one is removing the adhesive material without damaging the finish.

Don't really know what could have happened. Through the years, I've used these levels on RVs that were in below 0 deg weather to over 100 degrees without any problem. I've just installed a pair of them on our latest RV.

Mine have never leaked, you might have a defective pair, send the pair back to Amazon.

I've had mine since November and have never had a leakage problem. Could be faulty?? or over tightened?

We know of an RV Company using them in the motor homes due to plugs being too close to the floor, not sure if it's harmful to the units or not...but the units are still working without any issues.

If they are sealed when you put them away, my thought is you have a bad batch. A different vaccum should not make a difference as long as it sucks all the air out

If you tighten them well, they shouldn't leak. I have noticed that overtime the gasket wears slightly and the seal isn't perfect but tends to leak only when the cup is dropped.

I have used these for years and the only time mine leaked was when the blue gasket in the lid fell out and i didn't notice. Check the gasket. It may need repalced or not be installed correctly.

My has been flooded before, they seemed to be sealed with silicone but I would ask the seller

So far ours is not leaking. That said it was only installed 2 months ago. Thanks for the heads up about this potential issue. I'll keep an eye on it and update my review if it becomes a problem.

I haven't used gaskets with them (it never occurred to me) and I find they tend to leak. Maybe using gaskets would fix that.

No.. I have had my for a long while now.. and it never leaked.. you may want to call the company.. it sounds like you left something off while you were installing it.

There was a leaked but my husband pushed the tank in harder and it hasn't leaked since.Make sure that the tank is all the way in. Push down on it but be gentle. A great buy saved me nearer $800

Were they still sealed? If not I'd return them. Mine did not have this. Sorry.

Mine don't either. I just screw them on tight and they don't leak--seal zone or not.

I washed mine after the first summer they were out but by the end of the second summer they were all leaking. I don't know if that's because I washed them or they would have done that anyway.

That's not good. All my bottles had seals. Let the seller know and get a replacement.

I just installed two, couple weeks ago and I have all barrels full so I've capped everything off. I added a bead of sealant around the exterior of the fitting and snugged it up when I put them in. So far so good - no leaks or problems. I was gentle with them when I tested a hose and used them, so far, no problems though.
