What size are the 90 degree plastic bends coming in and out of the Flo-Pur water filter? My best measurement is 1/2" but that does not feel right. I've got small drip in one of them at the hose end of the bend. All I think I need is to replace the crimp hose clamp with gear hose clamp. But...

Have to throw in some NASA while we're at it. :)

Likely going to replace my water pump and have a few questions: 1. I have the SURFLO 4008. Is it recommended to just get the same pump or do folks recommend a different pump? If different - why? 2. Considering an accumulator but they seem to vary greatly in price. Is the $75 SURFLO actually...

I have a 2023 Keystone cougar 23 MLE. Specs say the black tank is 30 gallons. Used the water meter to fill the tank with the rinse connection, got quite past 30 gallons, but the gauge inside on the In -Command monitor showed only 2/3 full. Any suggestions? This is the opposite of most people‘s...

Hello, I am looking for the part number for the black tank valve on my 2011 Wildcat 5th wheel. My brother is coming this weekend and he wanted a picture of the valve. Coroplast. I am having back surgery on Tuesday and this old lady can't crawl under. I live in my 5th wheel, on top of a mountain...

Trying to understand if my bathroom sink can be treated like my sins at home. Can I use residential drain cleaner or a a plunger on my RV bathroom sink. I don’t want to do more harm than good but at the same time I need to improve the drain flow. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank...

Hi, I’m living in my Grand Design Transcend on my property, not using it for travel right now. I’m looking into getting a Midea portable washer Has anybody used a portable washer of any brand, that connects to a sink faucet ? There aren’t built in hook ups in the trailer and I think for the...

Hello, we are new owners... We drained our black water tank and it is still pretty full... any suggestions on what we could use to clear it out? Might be a pad or tampon... We had my daughter's friend with us on the last trip.

When it is time to unscrew the hose from the plastic fitting of the water intake, it is almost impossible to unscrew. Even with trying to use a set of pliers, it does not want to free up. Does anyone else have this problem. Is there something to put on the hose or that fitting that will make it...

Question; What do you do about water in the bottom 'convenience' bay? The access port for the hose has a lip on it and the rest is "somewhat" sealed. [It is actually leaking into the cargo bay.] I thought about putting in a drain, but would like to know anyone has a good solution! Thank You!

Well, I went to fill my fresh water tank today in my 2014 Anthem and it doesn't fill when switched to the fill position. City water works just fine everywhere else. I assume its the valve itself. Worked fine a month ago. Also, how can I fill my fresh water tank from the country fill if the...

my toilet brush fell into the black tank, how can I remove it? thank you

Hi, Ive been having some water issues since I recently broke the water inlet connection/valve check/elbow on my Eagle. I tried a few different things before getting fed up and trying to improvise my own fix but something isn't right or I'm not understanding something. I made a part that I...

Tried a few things to flush my black tank but when I hook up the hose no water goes into the fitting. Could the backflow valve jam shut ?

Hi. What is a good safe drain cleaner. My shower drain is draining slowly. Thank you

This is a new one to me and I will try to explain it best I can. This is not my RV but my In-Laws Wildwood FSX 17bhs. We where camping together last weekend at a State Park with no water hookups only a place to fill the fresh water tank. They camped once this season prior to this trip and had...

I have a 2021 Cherokee Grey Wolf Limited 26BRB. Recently the full light on the fresh water tank rarely comes on. Which doesn't really bother me as long as I know the tank get full when filled. I put a water meter on the hose and filled it until water started coming out the overflow. The meter...

Today was the day I found and removed the non-functioning water pump, an RV Aquajet II. I also received an ebay pump, same brand/model but older that was dirt cheap so I had ordered it. It is no the most accessible item I have ever changed so I am not going to use the 2001 ebay pump (that looks...

Hi, I was trying to replace the water hose to a shorter one and found that now the connector has a crack and won't cinch down on the new hose tightly enough and I've got no water. I tried looking up videos on Jayco trailers and none of them showed a connection like the one I have. I'm curious...

I have 2013 Winnebago Journey 40u. I believe either the water pump is leaking or the 3 way valve is leaking water into my fresh water tank. My 3 way valve was replaced last year at Winnebago factory service. In the past I have been able to stop it leaking by only turn the valve without water...

I know the Atwood GC10A-4E water heater is no longer made; however I have a question for you... What is this small 90 degree elbow doing inside my water heater? Assuming I can't fix the leak on my tank, this is just an interesting question... If I can fix the leak, do I really need to put...

My new to me RVs toilet acted like the black tank was full, making that tell-tale bloop while burping out some water every flush. I dumped the black tank, but it was still burping. Not being able to get on the roof to check the vent ( No ladder and the ability to use one anymore ), I gave it...

I'm thinking about changing to electric dump valves, maybe. The 2 that I see are by made by Valterra (E-Valve) and Barker (3" Auto Drain). Does anyone have either of these, and if so, what do you think of them? Any other brands out there?

Good morning. This is my official introductory post, though, I've been a member for a couple years, now. The wife & I purchased a 2023 Imagine XLS 23LDE in May of 2024. We've had no issues until 2 outings ago. The water heater would not work until the second day of the trip. The same thing...

Hello, After draining the system antifreeze, I'm having a problem priming from the water tank supply lines. It appears there is air trapped in the line because I see sputtering at the faucets. I checked the pump filter, cleaned it & the filter cap seal looks acceptable. I also tried purging it...
