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!   ------------- "Go home to nature and let nature heal you." Thich Nhat Hanh |

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. ------------- Leo & Melissa Bachand 2017 Ford F150 2021 Vista Cruiser 19 csk Previously owned 2015 Rpod 179 2010 Rpod 171 |

| 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. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

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

| 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. |
