Getting ready to order a water softner for our trip to AZ...
The on the go models have plastic fittings... there's one on ebay which is similar from a place in Phoenix and it has metal fittings which seem like they would work better...
Anyone have trouble with the on the go plastic ones?
Having a good water softener in AZ is a wise choice. Make sure you get a high capacity one. Without one, the hard water there will quickly overwhelm the little portable RV water softeners you may have and damage the plumbing and appliances in your RV.
Fittings? Kind of a moot point. The plastic ones leak and the metal ones corrode. I do new metal ones each year. YMMV
Here's something else to consider. There are several water softener service companies that rent water softeners that are specific to the area needs. They look like a #100 propane tank and stand up next to your hydrant. Just like the propane guy, the water softener guy comes by every so often and switches out the tank, no muss, no fuss and you don't have to carry the thing around with you when you travel.
