Who was the genius that came up with the idea of using PLASTIC connectors for the water lines??? One failure on the second run of a brand new 2014 Journey bought in April in front of the water heater. CW replaced it no problem, picked it up today, turn water heater on and guess what? Connector 2 inches from the replaced one fails, not 15 miles down the road!!
It is clear to me that when the PLASTIC connectors are joined to the lines, the plastic connector fractures from the pressure of the crimped metal bands b/c it is the joint that is leaking, not the line. Over time these tiny fractures blow due to the pressure from the lines.
Can't put any pressure on the lines without water spraying everywhere, so no water on this trip!
Thanks Winnebago for the award winning design! Can't imagine how many joints need to be replaced with metal ones so this doesn't continue to happen.
Anyone else having this issue? Solutions??
Sorry for the long rant, but 2 of 3 trips in a new MH w/o water sux!
