Fresh water inlet spring thingy broken
1997 Nash TT.
The spring thingy in the fresh water inlet that holds on-board pressure when using the pump finally gave up the ghost this last week, and it of course no longer holds pressure when the pump is on.
Are these things replaced as a complete unit from the outside? If so that seems like it could get tricky depending on if there is much (any) slack in the tubing such that the fitting can be pulled out enough to get access to the tube clamp. It also appears that this fitting is behind the shower tub (naturally) so access from inside may be dubious at best.
What about a redneck repair? The connection is water tight when a pressurized water hose is hooked to it, so why not build a little stubby hose piece or some other combination of fittings to stick in there? The plastic cap of course does not hold pressure.
What say you?
Thanks
