City Water Cap

  On mine, it is open, then a little rubber flap. I broke the previous rubber flap, then went to a standard RV store and got a replacement. Not sure how the Little Guy city water is configured, but at any rate, it should be a standard RV replacement item.

  Ours wouldn't stay on either.

  Found one at Amazon, thanks! http://amzn.to/1RVEwR3
  
  This has been one of those annoying things bugging me for a while but had not yet got around to dealing with it.

  Mine gave up the ghost too, so I bought a threaded cap and that isn't going to pop off.

  Mine never has stayed on so my simple solution was to use a cheap blow-out plug...

  Cspur at Tabazona recommended putting a nickel in the cap to keep it on (I think). I removed the flip cap and replaced it with a hose plug from an RV shop. Wish I knew about the nickel trick.

  Yes, I can never get the rubber cap to stay on either.  I have also done what PXLated has done.

  Mine neither - I thought about putting a piece of plumbing tape on the inside to give it a snug fit but didn't have any when I was leaving a state park - so used black electrical tape (!) and so far it's holding.

  New cap - with better seal. This one has a lip that makes it a more snug fit.

  We tried the nickel in ours (Canadian nickel = 3.5 cents) It was too tight to fit, but strangely stretched the cap enough to make a new tight fit. This might be temporary, but the cap is holding for now.

  Here is a photo of the inside, where you can see the lip.

  I'm surprised they didn't switch over to the water fill/ city water hookup door like they did on the t@g's.

  Great discussion and ideas. Be careful if you are using any
  type of rv cover as the water cap that protrudes will wear a hole in the cover in no time.
