After a long period of inactivity, I am prepping my 78 ROYALE for a rally.
Leaving tomorrow. Drag out the fill hoses, de winterized the hose bin, cut
the brush around it so I can get there. Drag the hoses to my coach and
proceed to fill the potable water tank. All good, so far. Go inside the
coach and turn on the pump, usual gurgling noises associated with filling
empty water heater, etc. Then, an unusual sound. Large amount of water
running somewhere with a change in sound of the water pump. Water suddenly
appearing under the kitchen sink cabinet, running across the floor. Oh
Crap, this can't be good. Turned off the pump, and opened the sink cabinet
doors. Water, water in places it does not belong. Further inspection
reveals another quirky Coachman install shortcut. Moen single handle RV
faucet with copper lines joined by short flex hoses to grey colored plastic
lines. One of them blew apart. Hose clamps loosened over time, and dried
out due to my winterizing. While contorted under the sink cabinet, I
tightened all the clamps. Some were loose enough to cause concern. So, if
you guys have a drive side full galley coachman outfitted Royale, you might
get down on your prayer bones and check those clamps. Makes a helluva mess
when those things let go.
