Have a Beaver Monterey 2006 Fresh water will not hold in tank because of a leak we can not stop it so we ordered a part and it is the wrong part so was wondering if we could find a part number of a replacment part for this problem maybe a picture as well

Rhonda, what part is causing the problem. A leak in the tank? Is it the dump valve? Where is the water running out?
-
If it's the 2" dump drain located under the fresh water tank, we had small leak that could not be stopped. Alliance couldn't locate the part number. I simply inserted a 2" drain plug, (the kind with a rubber plug tightened by a wing nut) - can be found in any hardware store. If I ever need to drain the tank completely I'll simply reach underneath, loosen and remove the plug and throw the drain switch. Not a fix - but a solution.

It is the electric drain door that slides to open to drain and close under coach and no the tank does not leak.

Don't know if yours is the same as used in our '04 Monterey. Don't have it anymore so I can't send you a picture.
At about year 1 the valve slipped a little in the way it was attached. As BJ operated the switch, I could see the valve move in its mounting bracket. In effect, it was fully operational but could not close all the way. It was in an awkward location but I was able to "improve" the attachment with some ordinary stainless steel wire so that it would fully close.
I know it sounds like a bandaid type repair. In fact it was! But, 10 years later when we sold it, it was still working without leaks.

Tom took it apart and found the part that was leaking It was 1 and 1/2 inch drain valve and the seals were bad. We tried to order a new one and they sent the wrong part so we ordered another part from Michigan and they sent the wrong part but it was ok cause we had a Mobile RV service our Hydro hot and we told him about it and he said just take the gate valve apart it has 3 screws and take old seals out and go down to RV place and bought new seals for 1 and 1/2 gate valve Valterra Bladex T1001-9VP-1-1/2inch waste valve seals $5.49 and it took Tom about an hour to put it all back together used a little vasiline putting seals in there place. Tom had asked when he was ordering the part if there was a replcement kit for seals both places said no. My Mobile RV Man sent us right to the right place and we got it working once again! :) Hope this helps another ours was a electric drain 2006 Beaver Monterey 40 ft
