  1. A roll of butyl tape and the window is back in.  On a side note when removing the inner shell of the window I noticed six of the ten screws were broken off and not really holding the two halves together.  Looks like a combination of cheap screws and a heavy handed electric driver on the screws.  I wonder how many of the other widows are the same.  I did have one screw head fall out on my dinette window.  Thanks for all your responses.

  2. I've finally determined my leaky bath widow is leaking from the top outside seal having a gap.  I have removed the widow and cleaned all the old chalk material.  I've read many of the posts here that talk about sealing the widows but don't see a recommendation on what sealant to use.  I did see negative comments concerning the 3M Marine Sealant 4000 UV and it also gets very negative reviews on google.   So what do you recommend?

    Thanks, David

  3. On a recent camping trip the Fresh Water monitor read "OPN" indicating an open in the tank sensor wiring.   This happened multiple times but then goes back to reading normal percent reading.  Gray and Black tanks indicators are fine, only Fresh.  I cannot find where to check the sensor on the side of the Fresh tank?  How can I get access to this?

    Thanks,  David

  4. @DavidS, that exactly where mine is leaking.  As soon as I turn water on it spurts out from several places.  I've replaced the Straight Nipple, with new seal collar and o-ring but no improvement.  Fontana has a new model out that I'm trying to find out if it is an exact replacement for the 9"x4.5" cut out.  It looks better made.   I also have a note into Jason to see if they are using the newer model and the price on a replacement unit.  I'll keep this post updated as I make progress.

    Also DavidS I enjoyed looking through your travel photos.

  5. Has anyone experienced the outside shower box leaking on the inside, dripping down into the hull?  It leaks on the input side around one of the rubber gaskets between two pieces.  I have replaced both pieces to no avail.  I may just order a complete replacement but this one from Fontana doesn't appear to be the quality that Oliver normally installs.  I'll first search for a better replacement that will fit the cutout.   Thanks for any feedback.

  6. Susan, here is a photo of the full curtain rod with curtain.  In the photo the cabinet door is down to show it opens fine.  I installed the rod prior to a recent two week trip In which we only used our trailer bath facilities and it was not a problem.  There is a photo near the top of this thread showing an install under the cabinet but I think that might be more of an issue hitting your head getting up from the toilet.  As for the adhesive tape it is also used on outdoor applications so moisture should not be an issue.  I think the bigger issue might be if I ever wanted to remove it.. With the curved outer wall and the factory installed towel rack it does not provide full protection to the toilet area but is a big improvement.
