1999 F-53 Windshield Washer Reservoir

Hi Everyone

The windshield washer reservoir on my Gulf Stream Sun Voyager(1999 F53 Chassis) has developed a crack and will no longer hold fluid. Not a huge issue but I would like to fix. Problem is I am having the hardest time locating a source for the part.

Anyone have any aftermarket recommendations on where I may be able to find it? I searched multiple online retailers including rockauto with no luck

Any advice is appreciated
-Sean

    Mine were dried, brittle and cracked. They were so brittle that fixing one crack wasn't worth it because another crack was soon to develop.
    I learned this after fixing several cracks over the years with Shoe Goo. I went to test the repair sucking on the top to see if it would hold vacuum and it cracked in many pieces. The Shoe Goo repair did not fail but the body itself was brittle from 15 years of use. I replaced it with a universal one fro Autozone.

  • I replaced both the washer reservoir and the rad overflow tank on ours, Chevy chassis. Picked up both at AutoZone, they have universal replacements. GM didn't supply those with the stripped P32 chassis, they were added by Fleetwood, universal parts. The ones I got were pretty much a direct replacement. I suspect the same is true for the F53 chassis. There isn't much on that chassis, beyond suspension, drive train, dash and steering wheel when delivered to the motorhome manufacturer.
