    Broken Toliet Flange

    How does the repair flange boot seal to the original to keep out the odors? do you silicone it to the flange to fill up any crack or whatever was there? Just curious.

    Help please, newbies on board , guidance needed for two old folks with first RV

    (I see this is old, so hopefully it has been solved, but anyway) Good luck! the best thing to do is read all the conversations here in the areas you want to know about and you will find a lot of good general knowledge. main thing on de-winterizing is to find the hot water bypass valves (on back...

    I have to rant

    Old thread, but just to note, I had a toilet problem with a bad internal seal leaking on my at the time new Pioneer trailer back in 2020. While interestingly my camping world service team kept me in pretty good shape, I decided to avoid driving it in, and called Dometic directly. they sent me a...

    Another satisfied RV Lock customer!

    Installed on our RE275 travel trailer and it fit and works great. my only complaint is it doesn't "know" the difference between retracted or not, IOW - if there is pressure on the door like you tried to open it with the deadbolt secure, and then push the code to open, it makes the same noise...

    Only getting Hot/Cold water out of kitchen sink faucet. No water coming out of Toilet, Shower or bathroom sink

    In my camper they didn't want to use the elbow type fittings, and instead used the bend sweep brackets. im sure that normally is the best way, and on some places I see them just bend them with no bracket. if yours has one of these sweeping bends somewhere with no bracket, maybe temperature...

    any ideas for a better shower head?

    I also recommend the oxygenics 26481. its a basic model with only 1 setting, but has flow control buttons on the hose or head, you can move that part. I believe I got it at a Walmart. vastly superior to the original equipment.

    New Faucet for bathroom, SharkBite connections, and outdoor water hose connection.

    Just wanted to share my modifications. As many have done, I bought a residential faucet. in my case I had to drill out the third hole in the center, but not a big deal, just had to have the right size drill. also added hose bib to front of the trailer on the cold water supply. also will work on...

    General list of things to work on replacing a bathroom faucet?

    Thanks for all of the suggestions. My favorite so far is that cutoff that doesn't require special tools, kind of pricey but looks easy, and if I don't have any cutoffs, that solves 2 issues. and if I cant get those, or want to move the pipes around to make clearances, the one about the...

    Towing RV with a Ford Ranger

    Have you looked at the trans fluid and smelled it? it would smell burned and be brown if you had overheated it much. Sorry, wont be much more help than that since Im not an expert on the ranger in particular.

    General list of things to work on replacing a bathroom faucet?

    Hello, I have a 2020 pioneer that has the small plastic bathroom faucet. I know it is a 4 inch faucet, and I have already selected a replacement that should fit. The main difference is the replacement faucet has pre-attached lines, made for the 1/4 outlet on a residential cutoff valve. Note: I...

    What do you like about having an RV Lock on your entry door?

    I found an offer where they had refurbished RV locks, and since I didn't want to spring for the expensive price, I bought one of those at the half price point. I have been fully satisfied. cant tell it wasn't brand new. - it may have been returned for some reason like not fitting an application...

    dometic a/c

    mine is useless in auto, it goes high low high low, repeatedly seconds apart when the temp gets just right for it to happen. i have to manually set high or low, mine is the dometic thermostat in a 2020 model. they said it was normal at dometic. looks like a bad design to me. I would happily buy...
