3. Do-it-Yourself Repairs on Your RV How to repair leaky faucets in your RV First, shut the water pump off and bleed all the water from the lines before beginning the repair/replacement. This will lower the chance of any water spilling out while you are doing the work on the faucets. Since there is not much room to work with; you will be doing most of the work by feeling. You will need to feel your way up the water line to find the nut attached to the faucet. The tool required for this job is a basic wrench. If you do not have one, you can find one affordably priced at the local hardware store. Use your wrench to break the fitting loose; ensure to keep track which is the hot and cold lines. (Often the RV manufacturer will use RED water lines for recognizes the hot water lines. Now that the water is disconnected, you need to loosen the nuts that are securing the faucet to the countertop. Remove the connector nuts and easily take the faucet out of the countertop. Take the old faucet with you when shopping for new fixtures—this ensures you get a faucet that has accurate fittings. Once you have the new faucet fixture, just go in reverse order to install it in your RV countertop.      

4. Repairing your Travel Trailer How to repair rotting wood in your travel trailer Assess of how much rotted wood there is. If wood rot is due to a water line burst, first remove appliances or counters to repair the leak. Most rotten wood is in the floor; these repairs take longer because you need to remove and replace floor areas. You might be able to repair some rotten wood with a marine epoxy. Removal of the dinette or cabinets may be required for repairing some rotten wood areas. Most travel trailers have floors that consist of plywood with a hard insulated center. Create a new floor using properly measured lumber, to replace the old floor. Once you have repaired the floor you can cover it with matching sticky floor tiles. Or take this opportunity to give your trailer a new look with a new tile pattern.       

5. Repairing your Travel Trailer How to diagnose and Repair grounding issues in your trailer A poor ground connection can cause a lot of drama while on vacation. This next section will aid you in diagnosing and fixing the issue. If the tail lights work great until the running lights are on, this is a clue to a ground issue. When tracing for a poor ground connection, you must first check the connector for the trailer on the vehicle. Ensure that the white connector wire is firmly grounded to the vehicle chassis or frame. Next, ensure that the connection is made to clean metal. A connector covered with any type of corrosion or excess undercoating, will prevent a clean metal-to-metal ground connection. Ensure the place where the connector is attached (usually on the tongue of the trailer) is a clean, corrosion-free connection. Check each lamp separately to ensure a good, clean connection with individual ground wires attached to trailer frame. 
