Since this is the first and only time I've looked at the regulator I couldn't say that it's a recurring problem. But since we bought this RT in 2016 we've never had a problem. It was only after we...

Thank you all. So looking at my picture, the threaded end is in the tank and the dome end has an elbow attached to it. Do you think I need more than a plumber's tape to put this back on? Maybe...

Hmm...I actually thought it was a check valve. If it were a strainer, it doesn't seem to have a clean-out like the one you suggested. I will need to remove and check it more closely. Thanks, though.

A leaky part

I was recently checking the rig before a short trip when I saw this part leaking quite a bit when running the hot water tap. What is it and how do I fix it?

We love our RT170 for just the 2 of us. Since we live in a neighborhood with narrow & winding street it made sense to have a van no longer than a large car. It becomes a bit challenging when we hang...

I've just recently tinkered with my RTs water pump, not because it was broken but because of the noise. It is a 45psi, 2.8 gal/min Shurflo - the original I think.
