Replacement Parts

There are a few items we need before making our trip this year and I'm looking for advice on suppliers. Not sure if #2 is Excel specific.

1) Bathroom sink drips. I was able to get it to stop by moving the rubber washer in the valve but I'm sure it's original.
2) Outside shower was cracked when we purchased the trailer and leaks when the valves are turned on (didn't notice this until after we purchased). It'll need a complete new shower mixing valve assembly.
3) Short fresh water inlet hose to the pump that hand tightens. When de-winterizing this spring I noticed a small leak at the crimp. It's about 18-24" long.

Where would everyone recommend I look online to aquire these? Our nearest RV dealer is over an hour away.

Thank you.

I order everything online because we are in a remote area and the closest rv parts guys charge at least 25% more for their parts. Ebay, amazonp prime are my mains sources. When I order I have found that companies like adventure RV list their stuff on these sites but often charge less than on their own website? got me as to why? If you have a part number it will speed upyour search. I replace the orings in my bathroom faucet set, same with the outside shower unit. they just go bad after a while. I use either plumbers grease or petrolum jelly when I reassemble. Both will work but the grease seems like it lasts a little longer. RV faucet sets are very cheaply made.

for the hose go to home cheapo, look in their bulk hose section for a replacement. Won't be exactly the same, probably a better quality.

Good luck
