Tyler,
Your coach and my previous coach ( #530 ) are very likely much the same in the AquaHot department.
I will attached a couple pics of what I went through. Not suggesting this is your issue.
Mine started leaking out the bottom at the pipe fitting for the exhaust. When I took things apart I discovered a leak in the copper coil. I had it brazed and soon a leak appeared in another location. My copper had somehow corroded and was too thin to repair. Since it was going to have to be replaced I took a long look at the tank and decided it was on the way to corrosion failure too. Purchased a used tank from the Wanderlodge guru and ordered copper and mastic and took on the job of rebuilding. That was several years ago and at this point I might just shell out the big bucks. But, it was very satisfying to DIY it and never had a leak again.
Should you ever want to rebuild I have many more pics and would be happy to answer any questions.
