Your RV water system begins at the point where you connect to the park's water spigot. As with every other system in your rig, it requires regular maintenance.
When we first started RVing we knew that it was a must to use a water filter to filter ALL of the water entering our rig. Not just for drinking but for ALL uses. A sediment filter helps to protect your water heater, toilet, shower, faucets, and ice maker, if you have one installed.
Motorhomes have windshield visors just as any other vehicle on the road. I don’t think I’ve ever had a vehicle that had the perfect sun visor setup. Our motorhome has a huge windshield and so it needs two huge visors to block the sun that beams in through all that glass.
I’ve been waiting to reach a stopover location that afforded me the opportunity to do some much needed service work and preventative maintenance. Today was that day, I was able to service the generator after a period of prolonged hard use.
If you ask my wife she’ll confirm that I really really dislike plumbing. Even when we lived in our bricks n sticks house plumbing matters were one of my least favorite chores to deal with. It’s not that I couldn’t do it myself…I had the tools and the basic knowledge, I just hated it. I did it because I didn’t want to pay the prices charged by a plumber or handyman.
The other day we were preparing to depart the park we were staying in. Routine morning…everything was going fine. It was right after the wife took her shower and before I could get mine…she heard a bang followed by the sound of running water coming from the shower. Nothing was visible but it was obvious from the sounds water was pouring somewhere behind the shower surround.
How’s the RV water pressure? Too little? TOO MUCH!?! If you’re not using a water pressure regulator on your fresh water supply line…add one immediately! Many an RVer has learned the hard way about blown water lines inside their rig that were caused by too much water pressure entering the rigs water supply system.
