We knew we had some problems to tackle.
We needed a new kitchen faucet:
And a new bathroom faucet:
But as I filled the holding tank before replacing things so I could indeed verify that things were dripping, I discovered a new and exciting leak that was jut dripping water out the back corner of the camper.
So I did the following:
1. Checked the connections on the water pump (I have to remove it every winter to keep it from freezing; we lost two pumps that way.
2. Checked the plumbing lines.
3. Checked the filler port.
I removed the filler port, cleaned things out, then reattached everything, this time putting the port on perpendicular to the camper wall. I don't remember installing the other one with a slant, but there it was.
Then I replaced both faucets, because I knew they were dripping because Michelle told me they were last year and why would she lie about that?
I also -- horrors -- disconnected the toilet so I could check on the valve to make sure it wasn't broken. It wasn't. But that meant I had to reinstall the toilet, and that meant rolling around on the floor in a little flood water until I could get the two stupid bolts tightened. However, it went a lot faster this time because I knew what to expect and was able to use the noisy cricket adjustable wrench Michelle got me the last time we had to wrestle with the toilet.
Honestly, this is how it feels for me, not a small man, to work in this camper:
My friends, per usual, are having a fun time with my adventures on social media, bless them.
