Noticed that there is an amount of water dripping from outside the caravan near to where the water heater is when it's switched on.
Some of you may remember I replaced the water tank a couple of months ago, and I noticed this before, but being a newbie I put it down to a similar scenario when a kettle boils whereby you get steam cooling down and then turning back to water and running down the side.
Should I be worried?

There are three places it can leak from outside, the quick drain valve top left, the drain bung bottom left and the fusible plug which is in the centre above the burner.
I would first suspect the 'o' ring seal on drain bung is worn or not seated correctly, next is the qdv body cracked at it's base where it screws in, finally the fusible plug, perhaps you knocked it fitting the tank?
