Shutoff for just vanity faucet?

[Idealmelissa]

Currently 3 days in on first trip in brand new 2024 Georgetown 34h5.
Back bathroom vanity faucet is dripping underneath, right at the base of the faucet (not the supply lines/connections).
I've got another week in this rig before I get home and can arrange to get it fixed by dealer.
Are there shutoff valves for individual faucets in this rig? I'd like to just shut it off until then rather than try to contain the leaking water until then.
I realize I could shut off the main and replace the faucet myself, but I'd rather let the dealer fix it since it's brand new.

RVs in general do NOT have shut off valves for individual water appliances.
That would be a DIY job if you wanted.
You DO NOT want water damage in your unit ever. The best thing to do is turn off the onboard water pump unless you need water somewhere within. Do not pressurize your rig with a hose connected to a water spigot, unless you need water somewhere within.
In the meantime, wrap the source of the leak in absorbent towels or similar to grab the water leak. Place a pail underneath if necessary.

Warning!!!!!!! You will have no guarantee how soon or how long your dealer will have you rig to make the repair. This is the truth of servicing within the RV industry. Do not assume it’s like taking your car in for service.
Sales has your money. Service simply sees you as another customer.
Please be aware.

If FR is still using those cheap faucets just go to a big box store and buy a faucet you like. Ours uses a 4" spacing. The water fittings are the same as a house.

Turn the water off, open a faucet to dump the pressure off, reach up underneath and loosen the fittings and then loosen the hold-down nuts to remove the faucet.

We bought faucets with swiveling water spouts.

Another week in the rig with a dripping faucet and you might have some damage to the vanity to fix. If it were dripping into the sink and not at the base, you could probably wait. If it's getting that vanity wet, you really shouldn't wait. If you can find a way to soak up the water so that it doesn't damage anything else, you might be able to wait.

You're going to have to shut off water to the entire rig to change it since most don't come with shutoff valves under the plumbing. Something you might want to install yourself though.

Other than calling Forest River to see if they'll authorize a mobile repair and you waiting to get reimbursed, your options are limited.

Yeah, just fix it yourself! Fairly simple and cheap fix. A LOT less hassle than going to a dealer. Lucky if a dealer will get to it in weeks. Unfortunately that is the way it is with RV's.........
