Episode 196 – RV Water Lines Made Simple: How to Replace a Faucet Without Leaks
Friday, 13 February, 2026
Today, we’re talking RV water lines and how to replace a faucet without leaks. I’ll cover the tools you need, the key steps that matter, and two digital catalogs that make finding parts much easier. Eric begins by explaining the different types of RV water lines and fittings and why they can appear more complex than they are. You’ll also hear what basic tools you’ll need—most of which are common household tools—so you don’t feel like you need a full workshop to get the job done. Along the way, the host shares a few real-life tips on planning ahead, selecting the right parts, and choosing a good time to tackle the installation. Eric also talks about the “mental side” of DIY repairs—because a mess of water lines under a sink can make anyone want to back away slowly. You’ll get tips to stay calm, label lines, and keep track of connections so you don’t get turned around during the swap. To wrap up, Eric points you to additional resources, including downloadable checklists, to help you stay organized and confident during RV maintenance. The goal is simple: make faucet replacement feel doable—even if you’ve never done it before.
