Replacing Kinked Sink Drain Line in 2003 Journey DL 34HD

[TDServices]

Anybody ever replace the flexible drain line in a 2003 Winnie dl 34hd kitchen sink in the slide and what did you use mine kinked when ope

I would cut that off and put a 90* elbow in there and reattach it. I have used flexible hose in large motorhomes that was sourced from pool supply or hot tub supply companies. Put a 90 on it and stop bending it so hard.

So put the 90 at the bottom where it’s linked then just reattach the hose it’s the original hose I’m thinking of getting a new one littchen rv carries it I guess 8 bucks a foot

Thought to consider on supply? Most parts of an RV are repurposed from other uses where they can be quite common. That issue of being common can make it much better to use stock parts rather than RV parts! Both for ease of getting them in hand as well as pricing.
If you can get a piece of that tube out with the number/letters on the side to ID it, there is a pretty good chance you can walk it in to any plumbing supply house to match it, saving on price as well as any shipping involved?
No guarantee it works but that does look like a hot tub part from here!

Well it’s the original pipe from Winnebago it has a 05/15/2002 stamped on it I can get numbers I’m sure I’m just trying to figure out how it’s actually connected to the other pipes ? I do see 2 pvc pieces that look like they thread on but can’t see much more then that all I know is I felt down there and it’s cracked enough when the slide is open to warrant me not running water through the sink at this time

I hope that the sauna supply hooked you up with the right glue. Flex tubing is used on slide-outs and the connections get stressed. The wrong glue won't last long. I've had experience with this on a black water toilet line and it was a real hassle.

I actually used the glue that’s built for water connections in saunas and pools so hopefully it stays put

That would be the right glue. Saunas typically jet water at high pressure. If the glue holds there, it should be sufficient for a drain line.

I learned this lesson with my first boat in 1980. It had an out-drive with a Chevy engine. A new alternator with a marine spark arrestor was nearly $200. A new alternator for a Chevy was around $50. Called a local alternator rebuilder and asked if he had the marine alternator in stock and how long and how much to rebuild mine. He said "Bring it in, I think I can fix you up." I brought it in. He pulled a rebuilt Chevy alternator off the shelf, pulled the back half off of my alternator, with the spark arrestor, and put it on the rebuilt alternator. Price was around $30.
