Hi

Yesterday was actually my first RV adventure. My honey Ian's his 2017 Forest River Wildcat so I've stayed there but never actually traveled.
Once we arrived at our destination, we set everything up and discovered the kitchen faucet was leaking from the base, handle, and pull-down faucet.
Can someone please tell me where the shut-off valve us for the sink?
We had to town of the water at the main.

Thanks,
Laurie

Unfortunately, very few RVs have shutoffs for the specific appliances. I’d love for that to be a thing but it isn’t.

Fortunately, it’s usually a matter that those things are just finger tight. Get in there and tighten the connections and it should resolve the issue for you.

Thanks for the quick response.
We toughened up everything but while looking at the handle, noticed that there was corrosion. I took the screw out thinking the handle would come off, but it didn't
Did I miss something?
Thanks,
Laurie

I was able to get the handle tightened, but it still leaked.
Replacement?
Thanks,
Laurie

You can get a replacement at most any big box store. Just check connection spacing. You do not need an RV faucet. Check the connections under the sink so you know what you need.
