in Heating/Plumbing & Winterizing
Sink faucet developed a drip yesterday - not much but just enough to be irritating and needing to keep a towel under it while traveling. Anybody else had the problem and fixed it? Haven't fixed a faucet in years, usually just a rubber washer isn't it?

    Leaking in sink or under sink ? Still under warranty ? Many of the valves today are washer less so replacement might be easier... Just two hose connections. Are those tight ? Might be washers in those fittings also. Vibration is a constant enemy of any RV. Wide swings in temperature don't help either. Can you pinpoint leak at faucet ? Let us know. Plumbing fixtures in RV's always seem fragile to me. I know weight is an issue but a good ole sink faucet might last longer, and cost less...

    Yup, the water lines and the drain were leaking on ours. Dealer fixed it all right up under warranty. They had to retighten one of the PEX fittings, and re-putty the drain. This is somewhat common from what I hear on the board, and even with other brands of RVs.

    Mine is still winterized but I have noticed antifreeze in the sink on a regular basis. I find this odd given the system is not under any pressure. I have assumed that it is redsiual liquid in the faucet neck and that changes is temperature etc. cause it to drip out. I guess the real test will be when I de-winterized and get to test out all of the systems.

    Dripped for three days and then quit - Wierd.
