Our 23BHE has a slide out kitchen with a sump pump reservoir that collects water from the sink and pumps it into the PVC drain pipe via a flexible hose. After dewinterizing, we noticed a slow leak where the flexible hose connects to the PVC drain pipe (pic attached).
Looking for advice/guidance on the following topics:
Looking for advice/guidance on the following topics:
- I’ve read threads that suggest modifying the kitchen drain to elimate the sump pump reservoir. The 23BHE is one of few models that have this and the consensus is that it is another device that could potentially fail. (The sump pump is not mentioned in our Owners Manual). Thoughts?
- Finding/Fixing the Leak. I took apart the connection between the flexible hose and the PVC drain, added teflon tape to the threads and re-connected, but the leak still occurs. Is it best to replace the entire t-connection pipe between the flexible hose and the vertical drain or are there other options to stop or seal the leak?
- I would like to avoid bringing in our trailer for service at our authorized dealer. Our authorized dealer is backed up for weeks and I’m not confident in their abilities based on prior experience. Has anyone had their trailer serviced at Camping World? Or is this the kind of repair that a residential plumber can do?
