Ok, so we bought our new 2016 Spree Escape the end of June this year and are on a long trip from Southern CA up the West Coast into Canada. We've had an ongoing problem with leaks under both the kitchen and bathroom sinks. We've hand-tightened as much as Dan's muscles will allow and all is fine until we travel to the next stop - which may be anywhere from 100 to 300 miles. Then as soon as we stop and use the water within a short time we notice moisture under the sinks. Today when we stopped only the kitchen sink has moisture underneath. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what did you to correct it? (We called our RV dealer where we bought the Escape and were told that when we return home bring it in and they'll go through all the pipe connections and use a silicon sealer at the junctions.) That being said, we'd really like to solve this problem soon as we'll be on the road through October. Thanks for any advice!

Hi. Maybe call one of those mobile RV repair places where you're camping? See if your dealer could give you a local referral to get it looked at under warranty?

Same problem with my Escalade when new. Called a plumber (cost me a $80 service call)...no problem since.

I had the same problem too. I pulled the sink and cut the hot and cold supply lines in half. Got two new supply lines at the hardware store, cut them in half, bought two shark bite couplings, and installed the new female supply lines. No more problems. I didn't want to take mine back to the dealer because we have it parked in a camp grounds. Just easier to do myself.
