Water hose repairs and shipping parts to Canada
I had a problem with my water pipes hammering against the cupboard wall, and the pump banging. Nice of them to put it in the bedroom.
Anyway, after getting off the clamps and pulling off the old hose, I tried to replace it with a new piece that I could loop to calm the hammering. The reinforced hose doesn't come with any clamps and the RV people were not accommodating at all with lending their clamp pliers to me. Hose clamps for that kind of hose would not tighten enough.
So, I ordered an Oetiker clamp and plier kit from the USA. The price in Canada was almost $250 with taxes. The USA price was US$52, shipping was free, but only good in the US.
Hmmm.. finally found a site and the price in Can $ for the 80 piece kit was $83. shipped to Canada. Brokerage fees cost me a further $35, so I ended up getting it delivered to my door for $120 Canadian.
I am now a happy Canuck camper again.
