    Posted: 05 Oct 2015 at 7:40pm
The hot water handle on my kitchen sink broke (just the plastic handle part) and I need to replace it. The sink still works fine. I have included pictures of the broken handle and the cold water handle which isn't broken. I also need to replace a clip in the bathroom that holds the shower hose. Can I get these from Camping World or contact Forest River directly? I tried to order other parts from the Forest River dealer near me and it was expensive and unpleasant. I don't really want to go back to them for anything. Thanks for your help!

We had the same thing happen on our 179, on it's second trip. We called our dealer once we got back and they replaced it.

Thank you for the reply! Mine would be out of warranty by now, but maybe I can get one from another dealer.

Or just buy a faucet from your local big-box hardware store.

Yes, I would most definitely use this as an opportunity to upgrade to a real faucet. Heck mine wasn't even broken. Wink

Thanks for the input! I went to Home Depot and Lowe's but couldn't find a faucet that would be compatible with the two holes that were drilled into the sink top, so I went to Camping World and ordered the OEM faucet from Forest River and it was about $50. It may just break again, but at least I have extra parts now in case it does. I was also able to order the hooks for the shower hose as well, and I even got a new r-pod decal for the back of my trailer since mine has faded a bit.
