Well ... made a somewhat serious mistake this weekend !! Decided to go have a free lunch at one of our local Jaco dealer's anniversary sale, and check out some new rigs.
Bad idea, Cruz. Janice and I went to the dealer the other day but I phoned ahead and told them that we were NOT buying a new trailer and that no salesperson was allowed to speak to Jan. Yeah, right! The fellow who had introduced Janice to the 35RLTS last year told Jan that he would write notes. I did escape with my wallet and bank account intact.
Also thanks for the tip on how to access the shower plumbing. I wondered how to get at it.
We don't much like the see-through glass on the cabinets either and I've considered getting a auto glass company to add a more opaque film but so far haven't gotten past thinking about it.
Dave - CHV_FRKExplorerOurs sprayed through the seal from door to wall. Basically it didn't lay over the way it was supposed to. They added seal strips vertically that force the integrated door seal to lay the right direction when closed. The water migrated to the far corner of the shower pan and the wall. Just a thought.
edit....I can get a picture if you need me to. - L_MMusicExplorerGood news! No more leaky leaky under the sinky sinky. I think it must've been some crud in the filter connectors.
Now, just gotta figure out the leaks around the shower. I've reported it twice while the rig was in the shop for something else, and one tech said it was a leaky toilet (which I believe they truly found, but not the problem I reported) and the second one sloughed it off as water accumulated over the top.
Upon further evaluation by moi, I find that the water accumulates on the passenger side floor when each of us showers and it does not come from over the top. The driver's side leaks now through the caulk at the door when I shower because that's where the sprayer faces. I can fix that. But what do I do about the passenger side floor?? I checked for water leakage into the basement -- nothing visible. - eaherrmannExplorerCheck your screw-on connection at the sprayer, It backs off with use and of course you don't see it leak unless your using it as a sprayer. Ours was loose during our PDI.
- mollyfluffExplorerI had a leak under my kitchen sink on our 325BHS and it was coming from the drain trap slip joint nuts. I tightened them up and that was all it took. Good luck!!
Brian - L_MMusicExplorerI've tightened the fittings before and I just tightened them again. They didn't feel loose at all. I took the filter off and wiped out the inside of those connections and put it all back together again. Keeping my fingers crossed!
I don't think I knew about the access to the shower hoses through the cabinet. They were very tight!
Thanks for the help, guys. - loydtExplorerMine leaked up at the faucet connections, too. Just reach up there and tighten those up and it should fix the problem.

Cruz, I've put decorative hat boxes up there -- ...
We just picked up some nice BROWN decorative boxes just the right size. They're actually covered with a nice brown material. We'll see how that works for now.
We have a friend that does cabinets. He said he could easily take the doors, remove the glass and put matching wood panels in. Hasn't quoted us a price yet ... :h

Help! I got a leak under the kitchen sink! I replaced the water filter and the leak seemed to abate for a few days, but now it's back. Mold is setting in!!!!!!
Where does it look like it's coming from ? ... the filter connections?
Have you reached up under the faucet to tighten those fittings too?
We've had the toilet, bathroom faucet AND Kitchen faucet leak just a little from loose connections. Tighten them up and it stops the leak. I now check them all before every trip! Just takes a couple of minutes.
Even check the one for the shower every couple of trips ... that's accessable thru the far left kitchen cabinet !
