Hello, I have a 1984 Jayco 28 Jaycrane RV, yes, it's very old. The bathtub faucet is leaking and I need to replace it. However, the faucet was cemented onto the shower wall and it seems that the only way to get it off is to cut around it and take it off. But the wall is pretty thick and I have hard time to cut into the wall. I think the shower wall is made of ABS, a very hard plastic on top of the wood panel of the RV itself.
Can anyone give me some suggestions how to get the faucet off so I can replace it with a new one? I looked behind the wall and there's no space between the faucet connector and the hot water tank connector, so I couldn't even disconnect them as there's not enough space to separate the connectors. As of now, I have to turn off my water mainline whenever I am not using water so I won't waste any water, which is very inconvenient.
I live in a rural area, if I use a plumber, it'll cost me at least over $600 for them to come over, which is a lot for me to spend.
Any suggestions/comments are much appreciated.
