I need to replace the fresh water tank inlet tube. Mine looks pretty nasty. Its the clear tubing, at least it is clear on my coach. Where can I buy this? I checked HD, the local hardware, Camping World and an auto parts store. No one has the right size. Any ideas?

Mine was nasty, also. Since it is clear, I removed it and let it sit in Clorox overnight. After that, most of the grunge rinsed right out, but I took a clean wash cloth and attached it to a coat hanger and pulled it through a couple of times. After that it looked like new.
My bride is still a little squeamish about drinking on-board water so I keep a Brita pitcher in the frig with (supposedly) filtered and fresh water.

G'day,
If you want to be able to clean the tank itself you can do this:

Thanks for all the great tips on the fresh water inlet tube. We tried the cleaning with beach and was not happy with results. Cleaned up some but not enough for the boss lady to be happy. Next stop the local swimming pool supply store.

Joe,
I just replaced mine along with a new water tank, Lowe's had the correct
size on the shelf. They also have a variety of adapters if you roam the
plumbing aisles.

McMaster-Carr has any size you need. I do have some left over from when I replaced mine, but I don't know what size or how much you need.
