Replaced all Alde hoses, connectors and convectors

jimcenname · August 2023

While passing through Ohio on a cross country trip this summer I had a bunch of service and repair done on my 2019 T@B400 at the nuCamp service center. This post is about replacement of all of the Alde plumbing in my T@B.

I change the glycol in my T@B annually, first with Century thereafter with Rhomar. After spotting modest corrosion two years ago I asked nuCamp to inspect my Alde plumbing during this trip. The corrosion was bad enough that I chose to replace all of the hoses, connectors and convectors. BTW, the new connectors are plastic, no longer aluminum, the convectors are still aluminum.

BTW, I'm a full-timer, I've being living in my T@B since 2019.

Thanks for your comment and could you explain how much disassembly was required to replace all the convectors? In our 2019 I think there is one behind the bed, at the kitchen window, ? below the round window by the door, under the table, by the round window on driver side, and under the floor of the bath and in the bath itself. Were all those replaced?

It sounds like the plastic connector is the way to go and it would be nice if a convector was available that could also avoid corrosion.

I think you found all of the convectors. I'm glad the connectors are now plastic.

@jimcenname Would you mind sharing what the cost was for this complete replacement?
