Water hose stuck on side of trailer..

RV city water connector..

HERE



To remove the hose portion you cut off, you will need to work from center of the hose towards the outside of the RV fresh water connector.

You do not want to break or damage the plastic part inside the RV fresh water connector, that is the check valve which prevents water from spraying out when you run your on board water pump.

Depending on if your hose that you cut off was brass or plastic removal would be accomplished by crushing the brass portion of the hose you cut off and then using needle nose pliers to to try to turn the hose portion.. Plastic would require cutting out with a pretty small saw or perhaps a hot plastic cutting knife..

Alternately, you could remove the RV fresh water connector from the RV, then you could submerge that entire part in vinegar or CLR for a few days and see if you can get it to move.. Once removed, reinstall the RV fresh water connector..

Once you have this fixed, to avoid this from happening again, make sure this connection is not dripping, seeping or leaking at any time.. Depending on age of the RV, sometimes you need to replace the rubber gasket that fits inside the Fresh water connector as they do wear out or get hard.



Replacement gaskets are cheap, 30 count for less than $5..

The last resort, remove the hose bib connection from the RV and replace with a new RV hose bib.. You can buy new hose bibs at your local RV dealer.

This might be your best option. The bib has probably has as much mineral build-up as the hose did.

Wow!

I have very, very hard water with not only a lot of dissolved minerals but also so much iron the raw water coming off the pump looks like deep red mud with out a good prefiltering and softener system..

I have never had any hose bibs get stuck and have never used vinegar in the water to wash my vehicles...

Sometimes if you do not get a good seal on the hose bib the water gets around the seal and that allows small amounts of dissolved minerals to drop out of the water in the hose bib threads..

To release the grip of the dissolved minerals you will need to soak the entire hose bib connection for a long time with vinegar.. So with RV sidewall hose bibs this becomes and issue on just how do you submerge it..

You could try something stronger like CLR (Calcium, Lime and Rust remover)which is designed to remove hard water stains..

All else fails, you may need to carefully dissect the leftover hose parts from the hose bib.. Be very careful that you do not break or damage the valve or valve seat contained in the RV portion of the hose bib.. That valve prevents water from coming out of the RV when you use your freshwater pump..
