Wandering Slaters Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Hi guys, We lived in our caravan for 2 years and now only using on occasion. I have been running water through all pipes at least once a fortnight. Took the van away this weekend and the shower hose has gone berserk. Water coming out from where the nut is everywhere. We tightened this nut but still coming out. Any ideas before we bite the bullet and get a plumber in. We no longer live near a caravan place so that no longer an option.

Neville and Kay Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Good Morning Wandering Slaters Is the nut you are talking about on the end of the shower hose if so check the state of the rubber washer inside the nut or if the nut is split, but if you are talking about the nut on the poly pipe supplying the water these are known to crack with age & you will have to replace & these are not to be over tightened as the split if done up to tight. Kedron have the nuts for the poly pipe but you have to say what colour the nut is. Hope this helps. Neville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyH Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hi Karen & Paul, From your description you need to go Bunnings, go to plumbing section you need SKU number 5001727 which is a 1.5 meter stainless double lock shower hose for the princely sum of $12.25...... I reckon even a bank johnney could fit that up.....lol Travel safe Tony & Annie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merv and Di Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Don't forget to keep a pack of "O" rings and washes from Aldi on hand in the van, they come in very handy at times. Cheers Merv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Slaters Posted April 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Thanks for all the good advice (even that from Tony H). Sorry to take so long in replying but Paul wanted to see how long he could get away with not showering before he had to get it fixed. All good now - Cheers Paul & Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
