plumbing

To start with, let me tell you that we built a steel house in Missouri with a 38' X 48' garage. The whole building is 72' X 48' so the garage takes up a little more than half. We have 16' high walls on the garage side so we could pull the Georgetown in and keep it inside. That way, we are...

I bought my new camper in March. It was delivered to our location in NC. No one showed us a thing about how to do anything. We were only here in NC for the delivery. We got the thing leveled but nothing else. No time, back to PA. We are now here for long 4th of July weekend and getting things...

I have a 2018 Catalina 283rks. Have been slowly make everything right in it. I travel with full water everywhere I go for a couple of reasons. After 6 Months I noticed a bulkhead in the underbelly cover turned out the straps for the water tank started to stretch. I continued on monitoring it...

After purchasing our new TT, I've contacted the manufacturer directly, and the RV dealer to get diagrams for our camper. I'm just looking for basic connectivity, not blue line or CAD engineering documents for low/high voltage/fuse assignments, and plumbing diagrams. Despite my persistence...

Hello...... Does anyone know how to get drawing/blueprints of plumbing for this model: 2018 Sabre 31BHT. Thanks from The Boys

Well - we got the travel trailer out of storage and guess what? The bathroom faucets still leaked. So, I dutifully researched how to address the issue myself and carefully replaced the offending valve. I waited breathlessly a few hours. Aha! No drips. Then I used another piece of the...

Just had a total hip replacement and need to raise the seat in my 17b Walmart raised toilet is way too big. I was considering either the Thetford 2.5 inch toilet riser (which looks like it will be a very tight fit)...

The flex drain hose for the kitchen sink comes loose when the slide out is moved out

So over past tt's, I've winterized/Dewinterized and have had no issues.... We bought this new tt (new to us) F40Qssp Sandstorm. After getting it home and loaded with all our own gear etc.. I started the process of dewinterizing, flushed all the lines, tanks, etc.., water tasted fine afterwards...

Our kitchen sink drips constantly and I took the parts inside the two handles figuring the o-ring is bad or something inside them cracked. Anyway, 2 rv dealers, Home Depot, and Lowes don't have the part. I don't know the faucet manufacturer so wondering if there is a website were I can enter...

Hey Folks! I just recently swapped my old Keystone single bath fifth wheel for a 2018 FR Cardinal 383BH with two full baths. I got this nice letter from FR welcoming us to the family, and inviting us to contact them with any issues. Unfortunately, despite spending good money on this rig...

I've been itching to dewinterize the new TT I picked up last month, and start actually using it. Unfortunately, the weather has not been cooperating lately. Meanwhile, I've been prepping / installing useful items into it (6v batts, hardwired EMS, ARP for the fridge, etc.) What I've been...

Time to de-winterize my 2017 Flagstaff 25KS. This will be my first time doing so. Had a question about the water flow. When I winterized I pushed the antifreeze from the external antifreeze fill valve through the water pump to all faucets. Of course, that left antifreeze in the fill hose...

Let's say my PDI was not very good - half of the techs were out with the flu and I pushed ahead rather than reschedule since I had owned a FR camper before. The dealership said the unit was winterized, but ready - I asked him where to access the hot water bypass and he showed me the panel to be...

Every time I flush commode (do it for 10 seconds), I hear a sound for a couple of seconds at the fresh water inlet. Sounds almost like a pump running, but we're on city water and pump is off. Doesn't happen when I turn on any other water source. Just commode. Fresh water hose on tight. Filter...

Hello, We never use the fresh water tank so this question pertains only to hooking up to city water. Can I safely sterilize the plumbing in my camper this way (or is there a better way): 1) Connect hose to camper water inlet. 2) Put a few ounces of plain bleach in the hose...

It seems that fewer and fewer MH's are free of propane lines or plumbing lines in slideouts. This seems like asking for trouble. Those of you that have such plumbing in the slides what has been your experience, especially after a number of years of use?

Does anyone by chance have a picture(s) of the plumbing setup from the tanks out? Once the weather warms up a little I'm going to redo the 3 valves and I'm curious how big of a can of worms I'm opening. I'd really hate it if a sawzall is the tool of choice. :crying:

I have a 2018 CC 38EL. I was wondering if all the plumbing is in a heated space. Is the storage area heated? If I keep the propane heater on do I have to worry about pipes freezing? Can I keep the heater running while towing down the highway?

Hello, We recently purchased this trailer from a friend. When he bought new, he had a water leak issue that seemed to self correct. (no water on floor). When we were going through and cleaning up interior, wife discovered water on the floor. We deduced that there was an issue with the lines...

Hi, I have just purchased a 2018 Sandpiper 367 DSOK 5th wheel and we love it. The question I have is I am getting waste (gray) behind the connection drain caps. I have 2 drain points so I need to connect a "Y" connector to the drain hose. When I open the cap after the first day of use I can...

I have a 2017 Cedar Creek Champagne and have noticed that the kitchen sink holding tank never fills up but the bathroom gray tank fills very quickly. Do you suppose the plumbing was not properly installed at the factory and the kitchen gray water is going into the bath gray water tank adding...

Hi, In the process of Winterizing my Grad Design Imagine 2500RL I purchased from you guys recently. I got the water system taken care of (filled with antifreeze), when I ran into this on page 95: WINTERIZING & SANITIZING 3-VALVE SYSTEM Plumbing Systems Winterizing: 1. Move the white valve...

Does anyone know if there's a way to obtain a plumbing schematic for a 2011 Catalina Coachmen?

So this is my first fifth wheel. I was under the impression that I had three tanks. A 60 gallon freshwater a 35-gallon black water and a 70 gallon grey water. I also thought I only had one valve for the grey water tank which is a whole nother story. So I ended up finding out with you guys...
