Michael, once again you saved the day! Our 2022 R-POD 193 faucet neck literally blew out of the fixture yesterday. The bushing cracked that seals it and it sent a fountain of water straight out of the base! I looked up how to upgrade faucets and your video came up. Worked like a charm. The shark bites came in clutch. They even had a nice cutting tool for the pex pipe at Lowe’s. My wife loves her new faucet. Thanks as always you’ve been a life saver. Appreciate you!
@@garlandstyle5797 Lots of rain which is a good thing in California. It does not snow where we live but that's okay with us, I don't like shoveling it :)
@@thetraveltrailerguy Oh man, Calif, or parts of it, have been hit hard with rain. But that is life giving for sure. Hey, I had some 3' drifts around the camper a couple days ago. I would have a lot of digging out of the camper just to go anywhere. LOL I hope the rain is a Godsend for you all.
@@garlandstyle5797 Yep we are being hit hard over here but its nice to finally see rain after so many years without much. One of the coastal State campgrounds got hammered with rain and king tides. The paved camping area is totally washed out where people parked as much as 20 feet deep, its sad and I bet the State will take 5-10 years to repair or rebuild it. We live at a elevation above the city so we are safe from floods. Most of the areas flooding are ones that flood every time California has heavy rains, the news just loves to scare people by showing everyone areas that always flood. I'm happy we don't have to deal with snow where we live, I love the snow I just don't like dealing with the shoveling part and driving in it.
@@thetraveltrailerguy We’re doing great, thanks, hope y’all are. I did out bathroom faucet a couple years ago and put a high arc version in so we could actually get our hands under it. I need to do the kitchen to something better. At least on the 2504S there is easy access.
@@greggimlick7319 Yep we have done both our sinks and its so much better, the 2504S is built so they can be changed out easily :) If you didn't see my kitchen faucet change out here's the video and another one for a cool aerator nozzle I installed.

@@thetraveltrailerguy I’m not sure because I watch most of your videos. I did go through and clean my subscriptions up about a month ago so I guess I could have inadvertently did it.

Mike, I appreciate the video. Our 2104s is just like your video, which make the replacement a PITA ! Still not sure if I want to make the switch , I can see much frustration in this replacement. No thanks to Rockwood for making any upgrades a Nightmare....

Hi Michael. I'm installing this faucet in my trailer and cannot for the life of me figure out how to put the weight on the sprayer hose. the hose came attached to the sprayer and the other end has a connector that I cannot get off and the weight will not fit over it. Any ideas? my weight does not come apart like yours does.
Hello Heather, sorry to hear your having trouble with installing the weight. Please open the attached link below to open the instructions and look at the bottom of page 5 and look at the #6 instructions. The instructions say that you turn the weight counter clockwise to open the weight, slide it on and the tighten clockwise until it is tight on the hose. (They must have changed the way the weight is installed for your set up) Please let me know if this works for what you have? pdf.lowes.com/productdocuments/b61f84d0-46a4-42b9-a1cd-93315f73cd7b/10782429.pdf?_gl=1*1fu0ezu*_gcl_au*MTUzNDE3NzY2My4xNzI1MTQ1NTA0

Very nice , very clean work , brilliant use of the cutting sheets
Thank you and thanks for watching & commenting. The project turned out nice and was pretty easy to do. www.youtube.com/@thetraveltrailerguy/videos
Great job pointing out the non-need for Teflon tape.
Yeah a lot of DIY'ers don't know this.
I'd like book an appointment to bring my trailer into your shop!
No problem, you will just need to bring it to my house between our camping trips :)
Water connections and hoses right next to electrical wiring, what could possibly go wrong?
I agree 100% By the way I subscribed to your channel and like your set up :)
Another excellent video Michael!
Thank you Oren, I appreciate hearing this from you. I hope you get snow and a tractor :)
Fast thinking Michael! 😀 Cool work.
Thanks Michael I hope you guys are doing well enjoying life
