Plumbing, where to buy?

[glarior]

I have an idea but if it fails I need to replace the sink plumbing. Where can I buy these pieces? This is for the sink drain p-trap that goes through the wall to outside. Ive been to lowes, home depot and a plumbing store but no luck.

I had to purchase mine directly from Forest River. No one had that pipe, I exhausted all local vendors looking for it. Just call the parts dept at Forest River. The part is reasonable, the shipping is on the higher end.

Lesson to me to be sure to communicate with spouse about who winterized the trailer. I thought he did, he thought I did and the result was a cracked pipe because it never got done. Sharing a photo showing the area the hairline crack occured.

You'll have to be more specific with what you are actually needing. I've replace my under sink plumbing and the plumbing to my shower drain,(194HW), I didn't have any trouble finding the pieces I needed at lowes, I got rid of my p-trap at both places, I'll try to help if you let me know exactly what you need

I have a buddy of mine, who used the product of~ JB Weld ~ to fix a hair line crack on a pee trap!
And worked great!

Jaydub... im trying to do the exact thing you did. I want to remove the ptrap and free up room under the sink.

You need ABS fittings and pipe. Most RV dealers keep some in stock.

The extra room would be great but do you really want to eliminate the P trap? It serves to isolate the sink from the gray tank contents. might get stinky inside

[Hoyt]

Oh, and sorry glarior, Apart form where you have checked and others have suggested I can't help. Good luck.

Ptrap for me serves no purpose. Im never hooked up to sewer. I use a 6g can that collects the sink water which is easily emptied. So far the smell comes from liquids stuck in the ptrap. Entire pipe is molded too.

I would NOT remove the P Trap if I were you. The water it holds is the seal to keep the sewer gasses and smell from the waste tanks from coming into your camper, same as at your house.

Without them you will hear many comments like..."EWWWW, what is that smell!"

Sounds like you already have a bacteria problem (in the P-trap). Removal of the P-trap will only compound the problem.

This is an A frame forum, so comments and suggestions that are given need to be from an actual A frame owner or previously owned one, why? Because A frame are very unique, almost everything about them is different than any other camper, or even pop ups for that matter. We have don't have a black water tank or a grey water tank. I've also come to the conclusion that most aframers don't drain there grey water directly into the sewer via some kinda of line, like other her campers. Most drain into some kind of wheeled portable tank, and depending on where you are , directly in the ground. My point being is that most aren't gonna have any sewer gasses to worry about, unless I've eaten some beans for supper. P-traps are not a necessity for A frames. Removing them frees up cabinet space , and allows the sink to drain much faster, and there's no water in the trap to worry about when wintering. With that said , I would also NOT remove the p-trap on any other type of camper that is gonna be connected to a sewer outlet.
