Recall Toilet Water Supply Hose Recall (SB-599)

[FLSteve]

Just received this in the mail. It's to replace the water supply line on the Dometic toilets. Copy attached.

Any idea how hard it is to a access mid toilet? I am guessing you would remove the floor bolts to gain access?

@redbaron ... I think you are correct. I am going to take a better look at that today. I sure do like the emergency door access to the back one.

Thanks @NWIP for forwarding this thread to me AND thanks @FLSteve for posting. I just arrived at Transwest for a little TLC. You can only pick 3 things for them to repair on a day in/out service. Guess this became #1 repair. Sigh. I wonder if this has anything to do with my little water leak in my wet bay. Will let y'all know what I find out tomorrow.

I would like the part number of the recalled hose, just so I know what to look for as far as a leak goes.

I'll try to get that information for you tomorrow.

@redbaron ... look on the last 2 pages of this attachment. I think it's listed there.

Sure enough--got 2 of them on the way. Seems very simple actually. Just a bit of back pain for the mid toilet.

I just opened the recall letter. I will try to order a couple of hoses in the morning. No way am I taking the rig up the hill for a 1/2 labor repair. I'll inspect my hoses in the morning as well, I have yet to see any sign of leaking. I am glad it an easy fix to what could be a serious issue.

I just got off the phone with Newmar parts. They want $165 per hose and if I buy them directly instead of going thru the stealership, I won't be reimbursed for the parts. I have a call into the dealership I bought the coach from to have them order the hoses for me. This is crap though. I am willing to do the work myself and absolve warranty of future responsibility regarding the recall. I am not taking my coach 120 miles RT for such a minor issue and then wait two weeks for them to do the work. I have 1/2 a mind to just replace the hose with a locally fabricated hose. I can probably build a better hose at ACE hardware plumbing department anyway like I did when I had to replace the galley drain line on my first overnight glamping trip!!
