I often wonder if mine is working right. <br /><br />I think it was about 3 months into our full-time journey when Pam said we had a leak on the bathroom floor. That is when I discovered (from John at the next campsite) that I NEEDED a water pressure regulator. He gave me an extra one. The high water pressure had loosed the water pipe connection to the back of the shower. <br /><br />It took me a couple of hours to find out how to get to it, but all it required was a hand - tightened turn and the leak went away.<br /><br />Hope you solved it and thanks again!Roadrunner Chronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720107862190088369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192913928006796095.post-28562268332530162592010-05-23T05:51:49.628-05:002010-05-23T05:51:49.628-05:00I wonder too like Al said if maybe a little water ...I wonder too like Al said if maybe a little water had remained in the faucet during the last freeze asnd weakened it enought to split under pressure. That sure looks like it took a bit of pressure to burst the braid too, I think if theres a way to check the regulator I would do that. I bought a home quality pressure ragulator for about $50 after my last small RV one failed. Be safe out there.

We had a cold night previously & I think it split the plastic at the base of the faucet nozzle. We picked out a new assembly at the local RV dealer for about $39. Doubting my own mechanical abilities we had the RV guy come out & install the taps. Took him all of 5 minutes & now that |'ve seen how simple it was to do I would probably have a go at it myself & save a big huge installation fee next time!!!!Al Bossencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307619781955351484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192913928006796095.post-24276687088429052172010-05-22T23:11:18.742-05:002010-05-22T23:11:18.742-05:00Well, Rod, you're experience has convinced me ...Well, Rod, you're experience has convinced me to do exactly what you mentioned. That is to check out our pipes and fixtures to make sure they are in good condition. Looks like you had a real stroke of plain bad luck there.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523089898331291694noreply@blogger.com
