plumbing

Hello, I’ve done some reading and watched some videos on the subject. Interested in your opinions. I am looking to put together a cheap, basic kit. I have the standard sink, shower, toilet, water heater, etc. I’m not going to do the shark bite route this season. I know it is the best option...

Hey y'all, Working on a 1998 that's been sitting with bathroom window facing the west setting sun. The cold water line is leaking under the sink. Do the fittings go bad? Not sure if threaded part can be removed easily? I've pulled the faucet and will hook up over a bucket to try to see where...

My kitchen sink won't drain and I am stumped. I've tried everything including the following: -Replaced the Air Admittance Valve -Removed and cleaned Ptrap -Ran 25ft snake down the sink drain, extended a full 25ft and never hit anything. -Ensured the plumbing vents on the roof were not clogged...

I need to replace my leaking (won't shut off) low point valves. I don't know how they are attached to the Pex pipe or how to remove them. Are they push-on's like sharkbite or is this a type of barb fitting. It's a pretty cramped space leaving little room for a crimp tool, so I thought I might...

Rosscoe asks: Just bought this 2109s and got a question regarding plumbing. When I hook to city water and pressure system up should my potable tank always fill or has someone opened a valve. I prefer not to have tank filled and rely on pressurized system more times than not. Thanks in advance...

:o so i botched the 1st plumbing test on my new to me 2004 Sunseeker. Hooked up Jose to city water outlet had wife standby at the faucet in case anything went sideways, turned water on, hit the pump switch and heat gurgling noise. See water coming from user rear bed immediately turned water...

I have a kitchen sink, bath room sink, toilet and shower. I have a black and gray water dump valve in the front and another set in the rear. Which fictures drain into which holding tanks? It seems that the kitchen sink goes into the rear black water tank. The rear gray water tank never has...

Does anyone have a plumbing diagram for a XL RB . I got a leak in the cold water line going to the washer. The leak is under the rear bath cabinet. It goes through the floor somewhere. I'm trying to install a disconnect for the cold line. The one that was installed failed and leaks are springing...

These fittings are for my hot water bypass system. I want to get a couple more for spares. I would prefer brass fittings if possible. I'm a plumbing novice so I'd appreciate any advice (pics or links would be a bonus). Happy travels!

I have a 2020 2251le. The water system works when hooked to city water. However, when I fill the water tank, use the water pump, and run water in the rv, water shoots out of the city water input spot. I cannot figure out how to fix this. Can anyone please help? Thank you!

Wondering what tool is needed to take off under body cover to assess leak in bathroom where black and gray exits underbody I have 2021 forest River Freedom express passport BH 257

I was adding some shut off (stop valves) to my hot and cold lines under my sink in the kitchen of the RV as a precaution in case I ever need to shut the water off to the sink. It got me thinking where else should I add a shut off/stop valve to in the RV. The obvious places I thought was the...

Hey all! I have a 2021 320MKS. That unit has a 120V mini fridge in the outdoor kitchen compartment of the passenger side slider. On the inside of the coach, the back of that fridge is behind a wood panel next to my stove right across from the sink island. Since I never use that outdoor fridge...

Hi gang. FYI I did search the forum first before posting this. I came across this video about using a water softener in addition to a water filter. https://youtu.be/DvXYGftsQ30 Wondering if it is worth it. Any thoughts, ideas, experiences, etc. Thanks.

Hi everyone. First post, but I've gathered a lot of info just browsing the site. Thanks to everyone for all the tips! I have a new to me 2017 A214HW. Trying to get it all squared away before taking it out on our first trip. The previous owner told me he had a freeze event where the water filter...

So here’s the tale of a perfectly ordinary RV’er into the dark world of waterlines and tie wraps. It all starts rather innocently, on an ordinary morning after at a 14Km run around Fountain Of Youth in Niland CA. Got a phone call from a disgruntled wife saying she wants me back at the rig in...

Was just wanting to know if any one could explain how to gravity drain my plumbing pipes in my 2019 cardinal luxury 5 th wheel so there is not much water in them to freeze. I have three pet pipes sticking down through the underbelly up near the front of the coach. One on them had a cap on it...

I do not have a washer and dryer in my 2022 345IK and I have read that some people have had orvan reroute the shower drain into the washer grey tank since only the bathroom sink and washer goes into one and the shower and kitchen sink go into the other grey tank. Has anyone rerouted this...

Frustrated 2021 Rockwood Ultra Lite 2614BS owner here. Picked up my trailer from the dealer after waiting six months for warranty work. Took the trailer to a local campground to check everything out before taking heading out of town. Connected city water, and everything worked fine for about...

Hey all, recently we purchased a 2017 Clipper 17fq. Doing our prep for camping today we sanitized the water tank and lines and went on to dump the gray and black tanks and had a lot of trouble due to the drain pointing upwards working against gravity as opposed to horizontal or downward . I...

Hello! Hoping someone might have the answer to a plumbing question here: While winterizing the RV, I noticed a valve (circled in green). I know the cold water T's off and goes to the hot water heater (orange arrow) or to the kitchen sink (blue arrow) but where does it go when it branches off...

I have been boondocking since May when I bought my trailer hauling in water. Just moved to a new location. Connected everything and had to go for a day. Came back and my fresh water tank is full (from city connection. And leaking out the fresh water connect outlet. As well as leaking out side...

We love our new Tandara fifth wheel, but we've run into a couple issues, both relating to the water system. 1) Our fresh water system is supposed to be a massive 63 gallons, three times what we had in our old camper! With the camper it would last almost a week before needing a refill. That's...

I'm winterizing for the first time and have the water heater bypass figured out, but what does this valve do?

Howdy! I have a 33-foot, bumper-pull, 2006 Rockwood Ultra Lite travel trailer (model 8318SS) with a living room slide-out (port side) and a rear, starboard (right) side slide-out. The bathroom/shower are located at the rearmost, left side of the trailer with the black and gray water pull...
