    Batteries drain in hours - suddenly

    I have a Rockwood 8332. I’ve upgraded the lead acid batteries to Lithium and added a 2nd battery. I now have 400ah. Everything has been working fine for weeks. But starting yesterday, the batteries die in hours. The solar can’t keep them charged, even when sunny. I run my generator and...

    Flagstaff Mac: Replace sink drain pipe

    I need to replace the drain pipe on my 2013 flagstaff Mac 205. Should I remove counter or squeeze into a tiny space (crazy little space) to replace? Is it easy to remove counter?

    2021 25FKS Grey Tank Drain Question

    OK, quick question. We just purchased our 25FKS and it has two grey water tanks and two drains. Does the front tank have to be drained separately? Didn’t occur to me to ask on the walk-through. Thanks!

    Gray drain leaking at Gray Tank connection (2017 I3 RW)

    Looking for thoughts or epiphany: 2017 RW gray tank pipe from shower/kitchen broken at connection to gray tank. Drips to ground when using and since the pipe run is so long it drips (not gushing) for a few hours after using sink and/or shower. A bucket under the rig to catch the drips works for...

    ABS drain joint sealant and further questions

    I've recently purchased a 2000 325S and we decided to redo part of the inside. I pulled the toiled and tried to unscrew the flange. It turned, but it carried some fittings and pipe with it. A straight piece of ABS disconnected from the fitting downstream from it and I brought out an assembly...

    Hi again, I am the proud owner of a brand new A212HW. I had a RPod before and understand drain and holding tanks but am confused about how to deal with the 1.5 inch drain.

    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 ?

    Grey Tank 1 not draining on 2020 HG Elite 36FL

    I have a 2020 Heritage Glen Elite 36FL. My Grey 1 tank is not draining and backing up into the bathroom sink when running the shower - sensor shows 2/3 full. Black 1 tank drains fine, as do the forward grey and black tanks - no issues. There is more resistance on the grey lever than the black...

    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...

    Hello-- I'm the new owner of a GeoPro G20bhs, with a rooftop solar panel and two batteries. Our battery levels consistently go down at night, even if we've just charged it to 4 bars with our Honda generator at 5 p.m. By the next morning, with very minimal overnight usage, we're down to 1 bar...

    Battery drain by propane fridge

    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. When it is parked in our yard it takes the battery a few weeks to lose some charge. When we were boondocking our battery died overnight when the only thing that...

    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...
