Lance 1062 - Access to wires/pipes under the kitchen sink

[BradW]

I have a couple of issues I need to deal with under the kitchen sink. I can see the wires and pipes but my arms are not long enough to reach them and my shoulders are much wider than the cabinet door. I can't figure out any good way to reach the wires and pipes. Any ideas? I can't believe I'm the first to have these issues. Any help is appreciated.

I agree with the above. I had to remove the entire propane regulator to access one of tank feed hoses I was replacing.

Well I think that most RV mfg's have no thought process of serviceability when they design and build RV's...
The Sink faucet in our 2000 Bigfoot started leaking so I decided to remove and replace it. It was not the shutoff valves...

The job was about as tough as one would want. I would not wish it on anyone. Had to remove the sink to accomplish the job.

Here is a few pix just to show how in accessible the plumbing hook ups are to get at!

It sure is a beauty! It would be hard for me to start a project in something that nice. Let us know how it turns out.

Thanks all for the suggestions. I have been thinking about this since we bought it in 2018. I knew I would have to get in there sooner or later and I couldn't get but one arm through that cabinet door.

I had thought about dropping the sink down, but I couldn't reach the rear screws. The suggestion to reach through the little trash hole behind the sink may work; I had not thought of that.

My last resort will be cutting out a 22" x 22" hole in the front of the cabinet. Then make a new removable cabinet face out of oak veneer 3/4" plywood and attach the cabinet door to that. I REALLY don't want to do that.

thanks again for the suggestions.

Can you reach if you pull the drawers out?

If there is a compartment on the outside of the slide, can you take a panel out or cut an access hole.

JM all the waterlines are to the right of the faucet, the water pump is fixed to the front wall of the camper and flex lines go to the sink and water heater . the water heater is directly behind the faucet and has an outside hatch, that's really it

I just went out and looked at my 2019 1062. the sink is screwed into the bottom of the counter top. You can access the back screws from the countertop trash can opening. The only other option I see is with the camper off the truck and the slide out you might be able to remove the underside panel (not the slide floor bottom) by removing the metal angle plate and getting to the plumbing that way.

I’m not familiar with Lance but is it possible to remove the counter top with the sink still intact??

From what I see here "if this works from my tablet" ill bet that sinks lowers rite out of the way. Of course I don't know better than you but good luck.

A couple of other thoughts, can you take the sink or water heater out? Some aren't that hard to take out. If the sink is builtin, maybe you take take the counter top off.

Other than that, I guess find a small or thin person to help out.

[BradW]

No and no. I wish there were.

Any doors/drawers that you can remove for better access?

[jimh406]

This might be obvious, but Is there any possibility of accessing from the outside or below?
