I have assured her and Kate that there will be a line of mutants repairing and supervising. Also probably a good idea to have some Pina Coladas on hand....

The Pina Coladas will be a-mixin' whilst the Mutants are a-fixin'. (Oh, and some beers on ice, too!)

If they do, then the pipe does need to be re-routed to the back side of the drawer.
Wayne, just the edge of the end of that white pipe was resting on the drawer runner when I pulled the drawer out. I'm about to go back out to the coach now and will check, but I don't think the drawer will go in all the way with that pipe going through the space. When I was trying to push the white pipe back toward the black pipe, it just popped over into the drawer space.

If they don't then I suspect that the black pipe will rotate to meet the white pipe, but that is only if they stayed true to most drain systems and (old tyme engineers) did not glue the pipes in place.

The piece with the chunk out does not appear to be the problem. You can see where the line is when the two pipes were connected (no glue). Check to see if the drawers clear the white pipe. If they do, GENTLY see if you can rotate the black pipe at any of the elbows.

Questions: Where does that straight pipe under the sink come from? It also drains through the separated pipe.
I'll let you know the answer to this one in a bit. (Forgot to mention the busted spray nozzle on the wand by the toilet. Going to CW to get a replacement nozzle right now.)

Run the bathroom sink and see if water comes out the black broken piece. Run the shower and see if it comes out the broken piece. If any do, don't use - the experts will fix at CL.
I'll check the shower and bathroom sink in a few minutes. I'll be back here in an hour or two to report my findings, and hopefully tell you that I found a replacement spray nozzle and attached it.

Thanks a million, everyone!

It is better to cross at Vicksburg rather than Greenville. greenville in yucky driving. We always come over then north at Talullah. Easier drive. Unless you are too far up and have to. Younger son went to college east of Winona. In Starkville MS. Traveled that way much. BTW Dumas is best left in the rear view mirrors.

We have stayed at the casino before when too long to drive in up. Jackson MS has places too but i would stop before. Over river is Talulah LA. No real good place there.

Thanks, Di! Sounds like a camper's desert. Tim got us re-thinking our route. Hope Winona is better!

All roads lead to CL. Unless you're going somewhere else....

Mel, I've been told if you are in a campground and have a problem, just grab a wrench and stand outside looking confused. In no time you'll have all the guys gathered around offering advice, parts, help ....

Beer and piña coladas generally welcome!

[Diwizi]

Oh yea. This son is an Anesthesiologist. Pain dr.

Funny when he was in ned school he told me the heart is nothing kire than a plumbing system. Wish larrys heart plumbing system were as easy to fix. He had to stay home today for a wifi reading for his heart ICD
BUT GK askeep and see son pulling in. Later.

Btw. Ohms please. Out at oldest sons with the 3 grands. DIL took him to ER with probable kidney stones. He has had many before in last 12 years. Hoping for quick relief. In the meantime. I am babysitting.




Di RVM #64.

Ommms heading your way Di for your son. I know I am late sending them. Been cooking for yesterday's wedding and now heading out to drop off the RV for some upgrades before its my turn to go back in.

Looks like we will head to WY the middle of May now.

[Diwizi]

Di, I think of Larry's heart ailment almost every time I read one of your posts. Puts everything in perspective. I bet you my last paycheck that you treasure every single day with your handsome, sweet guy. What a gift our spouses are to us. We should never take them for granted.

Ommms to your son. Hopefully, he'll be fine and back to his normal, busy life very soon.

You made me laugh out loud. I have my wrench in my tool chest in one of the bays. I'm going to Specs tomorrow and buy more adult beverages. We should be good.

Everyone is welcomed to bring lawn chairs and park it around bow to watch the action. I'll be blending Pina Coladas for your enjoyment. Kate will help me pass them out. (Note to self: When at Specs, get a sleeve of 100 or so cups for PCs. And get little colored umbrellas for Wayne, Tim, Dave and Steve.)

Mel,

Looking over the pics, it appears that someone fixed it once before. It appears that there are 3 different types of pipe that were used, but NO problem.

Not remembering your pics from you first got it, I need to ask if the kitchen is on a slide out? I'm just trying to understand the reason for the flexible hose.

Me too Larry. Looks almost like our built in Dirt Devil vaccum hose. Maybe that's what was handy.

I think that the white pipe would not go over to the black. It appears to be to much of a turn, stressing the white pipe. With age those accordion type pipes can harden and it is easy to shatter one. We'll see when you get to CL.

If they don't then I suspect that the black pipe will rotate to meet the white pipe, but that is only if they stayed true to most drain systems and (old tyme engineers) did not glue the pipes in place.

Probably to late, but in case - change the hose to the spray nozzle if you can. Those also harden with age and can crack. While talking about hoses, in the S&B change the riser hose going up to the tank on the toilet. then can also crack with age. (Go ahead, ask me how I know.) Replace with the metal reinforced hose. Same with the MH. We can check it all at CL.

Run the bathroom sink and see if water comes out the black broken piece. Run the shower and see if it comes out the broken piece. If any do, don't use - the experts will fix at CL.

Oops! To late.

Dwayne, You're never around when you are needed - hurry up and get on the road. Let us know where you are headed and we'll just follow - in case.

[Wayne M]

Mel,

p.s., I can't fix your plumbing problem because I cannot squeeze thru that drawer space. I don't know of any mutants that can. Maybe some that we haven't met yet.
