From the grey tank or the black tank?

One does have to be careful where one lays underneath the trailer

UPDATE. As I was messing around outside I noticed there was water running out of the outside shower door. Inside there appears to be water coming from behind the fixture.
I did check this earlier and saw no water at all, it was dry
When I attached the quick release hose the hot water would not shut off.
Has anyone else replaced or repaired this fixture?
I have a picture and will try to post it...apparently not able to in quick reply

Fixed - thanks for all of the help and suggestions

FIXED - thanks Rubicon for the expanded look.
It turns out that when I removed the outer retaining ring the whole thing just blew out.
I'm thinking that it was not completely seated when installed or somehow backed out over time.
Anyway, after re-threading in the fixture I tested it and it held.
Now the water pump is quiet.


I'm pretty positive it was not showing water early on but it sure seems to be the issue. It is a bit rainy here but when I noticed it this afternoon it was running out of the fixture much more than would escape notice.


thanks again, this community is pretty great - from a dedicated lurker, it's nice to have folks step up when you need them

Nice work.

Keep an eye on it. If after some testing you feel you might want a spare faucet valve let me know. I have some extras (never used) and can send you one. I have not seen parts sold individually for the spray port except for the metal quick disconnect piece.

So, if I get an extra valve I will probably never need it.
Can we exchange emails or addresses then talk about how that might work.
Happy to make a contribution to your trailer fund if it can work out

It was just a thought if you were thinking the valve or small gasket could be a problem down the road. If you want one just PM me your address and I’ll send you one no charge. I’m not sweating the shipping either.

Is the water tank completely full? Sound a like it is sucking air.
