One thing we just found out on the last camping trip is the cheap plastic faucets they put in, well I broke the cold water knob one off in the bathroom(a pressure valve Ithink hubby called it broke), are replaceable with standard faucets at Walmart - I thought they would be made for RVs but they are not so if full timing and have plastic faucets you might think of replaceing them with metal ones. Also luckaly hubby had plugs for the water line so we could still have water to the trailer since it was 4th of July and we thought we had to go to an RV place to get a new faucet. They didnt' tell us on the phone so after driving 30 miles to get there they then tell us we could have gone to Walmart but they didnt' want us to so they didnt' tell us on the phone - you talk about no customer service!!
Thanks for the list... :) Debbie
