  • ABS/PVC coupler savers/reemers

    Has anyone ever tried to use a plastic pipe reemer to salvage and reuse a coupler?
    Here is one on amazon
    and another on YouTube
    I am chasing some unwanted water in the underbelly and believe it is coming from one of the first 3 couplers coming out of the rear most grey tank. Once I can fully verify my theory on this I want to be fully prepared to make this repair as soon as the weather and my schedule allow.

    On a related note, what is the gray foam they use to seal coroplast penetrations? Can I get it at big box store or do I need to get to an RV supply store?

    That is really cool, I didn't know such a tool existed. I believe the type of foam used by the factory to seal the coroplast was mentioned before, but I cannot currently find it, sorry! I also recall people mentioning using Landscape Pond foam and other types of closed cell spray foam. That is the key though, is a closed cell foam that will not absorb water. Good luck!

      I used Great Stuff (bug repellent version) from a big box store. It is messy--use eye and skin protection.
