RP178 sink drain issues.

Spend a few minutes winterizing my 2015 178 today. Many thanks to the valuable assistance on this website. It took me a an hour or so but now I think I could do it in 15-30 minutes.

I am posting now as I encountered a problem with the sink drain. Once I had the antifreeze in the lines I noticed a drip from the area below the slide out in front of the wheel. It was some of the antifreeze dripping out. I began to check inside and found the sink drain to be loose and leaking. There is a flexible drain line to accommodate the movement of the slide, but the flexible drain line was very poorly attached. I figure it came from the factory that way.

To fix it I had to remove a couple of panels and reattach the drain line correctly. A simple fix, of course, but I was unaware until today. I am posting this as a heads up to all 178 owners to be aware of this potential problem.

Especially since most of the drain fittings in the pods aren't glued like you would find at home, instead you have threaded fittings which loosen up.
