Where there is the problem....

So, today I decided to finally tract down why every now and then we get water under the bathroom sink. I could run lots of water down the drain and never see a drip, but occasionally we get puddles in the cabinet. I started to dismantle the drain assembly and quickly found the issue was a split seal/o-ring. I was removing the nut that holds the drain in the sink when I realized that the drain had no overflow port, even though the sink has an overflow drain, So now I have to call Heartland on Monday and see if they will pay for a correct one or if I have to cut a hole in the factory unit. So you all might want to check yours to see if you have a overflow port or not.

2010 Ausgusta, While you are under there stiffen up the rod for the drain plug. Mine was so flimsey that I put a piece of medal along side of it. I taped it together and now works very well.

The first time we used our trailer, I tracked the leak in the lavatory sink to the poorly installed gasket under the drain flange inside the sink. I'll have to remember to look at that drain pipe next spring.

or if I have to cut a hole in the factory unit.

Scratch that idea the seal from the spare is not quite right so the entire assembly will have to be change out with either a new factory unit or I'll have to buy one at a local hardware store.

Replaced mine with a brand name product from local plumbing store and no more problems . easy fix and did not call heartland.

Alan, our 2009-3400RE, as well as 2 other Bighorns that I know of were delivered up here to Calgary AB last year and were all leaking at the sink gaskets. Plumbers putty around the sink drain and properly tighting of the flange seemed to be the answer.
