    leak when bringing in slides, or when draining galley graywater

    Complete newbie here, I just acquired a 2019 392MBL, overall it has been terrific. However, a weird leak has occurred twice, both times from the underbelly right above the front axle. First leak: I was draining our tanks, and when I flushed the galley liquid waste, water immediately started...

    Shower drain trap disconnects by itself.

    The trap will disconnect by itself. I put it back together, but over a few months time it just works itself loose again. It is a simple compression fitting. If I replace the rubber gasket, will that increase friction and grip? Should I replace the entire trap? Are upgrades...

    Fresh Water Drain

    I just traded in my toy hauler for a Coachmen Chaparral 30RLS, and cannot find the fresh water drain anywhere. I found the low point drains, and the black and 2 gray pull handles. Does anyone else have a clue as to their whereabouts ?

    Low point drains between trips

    I think the only reason I’m asking this is that the dealer left the low point drain caps off after dewinterizing. But...for those that empty water tanks between trips, do you leave the low point drain caps off or do you put them back on once the water has drained? Thanks!

    White drain cap

    See attached photo. I assume I'm correct in purchasing a drain cap and putting on this drain spout? Every time I tried to fill my fresh water tank it would trickle out of this drain until it emptied my tank. I presume there was a cap on it but either came off during my trip home or never had a...

    How often drain water heater?

    We use the RV about every 3-4 weeks for 3-7 night trips and have been keeping the water heater tank full of water during storage, only draining it at winterization and keeping it drained until springtime. Additionally, there are many trips where we won't use the water heater the entire trip. Is...

    Sink drain

    I finally may have figured out how to drain my sink into a sewer drain. I found that it needs a vent so I used a splitter with a hose up the side of the camper by the rail. It doesn’t generate enough pressure so I used a tank to suspend the hose. Finally an adapter into the sewer drain completes...

    Hi there [emoji112] We are brand newbies to rving! We bought a 2020 Shasta 18fq last year and just brought it on our first long trip.

    Gutter drain over slide.

    I have a new Coachmen Adrenaline toy hauler and I have noticed that the drain for the rain gutter sits over the front bedroom slide. Aside from that being an idiotic design, I was wondering if other campers had the same issue and what others have done to fix it. I really don't want to have...

    Draining water at the campsite - why?

    As I was leaving the campground this weekend, I saw a guy draining his low-point drains directly onto his campsite pad. He was otherwise packed up and appeared to be ready to leave. We were already rolling so I didn't stop to ask, but I'm still wondering two days later - why would he do this? It...
