We have taken our new TT out on a few short overnight trips, but this weekend we pulled it on our first extended stay trip. 4 nights and 700 miles roundtrip, and noticed a few issues. Both issues would be covered under warranty but I woudl rather just fix them myself if possible as opposed to taking it to the dealer to sit for a week or two.
First issue is that there is a very slow drip coming from the shower drain, where it makes it's first connection to the drain line about 2" below the shower floor. I am thinking I should just be able to tighten this up a bit and fix it (assuming I can get my arm in the ridiculously small 4"x6" accesss panels they put on these trailers. This is a threaded connection and I can't see any issue with tightening a bit and seeing if that fixes it. Any reason not to?
Thanks
My shower drain was leaking on my previous TT. I did tighten up on it and it did stop leaking. Be careful not to over-tighten. I think it started leaking as a result of me storing a 5 gallon jug of drinking water in the tub, which may have caused the nut on the drain to loosen as the jug bounced around during travel. Needless to say I do not store anything in my tub now.
