Denali 289RKS hose disconnected

[nitro943]

Ok...I think the water line in question is leading to the toilet flush line. It's lining up right. trying to find the joint now

[nitro943]

GOT IT! From the back of the toilet, I gently pushed the rod down parallel with the water pipe. I went underneath and began feeling around where it should have come thru. I felt around on top of the blk tank and there it was. I looked and saw the elbow disconnect and orange rod right there. It was not easy to see and will be tricky accessing to make the final repair.

Thanks for all the help folks and if you need any boating help/info, feel free to give me a shout. I spend the majority of my time on "thehulltruth" under "nitro943" thanks again

***One more thing before I leave. I have owned several campers. Just prior to this I owned 1999 Thor. My Denali 289rks is 100% disappointing. Everywhere I look I see shortcuts. Screws protruding where they shouldn't, cheap craftsmanship, and most of the hardware is cheap. My issue with the hose should have never occurred. This camper is like new/mint condition. It was thrown together and will need to be reconfigured. The exterior slide seals are already coming off. I have no reason to bash Dutchmen, just stating what I see.

I figured this would be a top of the line camper, but boy was I wrong. Its not even close. Hope this helps someone in the future.

Go ahead and bash them, you'll feel better because the water line won't be the last of your problems!

I bought this for my fresh water drain so I can easily drain the water. It just screws into were the cap goes.

I would look at a Dutchmen Denali 298RK .

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter what brand or how much you spend, they are all slapped together with every shortcut possible.

My Parents just bought a $65K Open Range 5er and have the same issues we have plus many more.

The RV industry took such hit during the recession, that the only way they were able to stay alive was to cut costs. Yes, they have gone to far, and it can only improve in the future as the competition continues as more people start buying RV's again.

Go to a RV show and look around. You have about as nice as a TT as you can get in that price range.

I have accepted this fact, and instead of getting mad, (WHICH ISN'T WORNG) I work with my dealer, fix myself and use the great resource of this forum.

Used Airstream....

They are probably one of the better quality units on the market, all the crap inside may fail, but at least you have a solid shell to work with.

I just saw a really nice 2003 31' Classic go for $35,000 worth every penny.
