Can't wash dishes in the RV | Low water pressure | Fulltime RV Living 

Yay! We are so glad the video helped! Enjoy your Solitude and happy camping to you!

@@LizAmazing Just wanted to say I finally got around to fixing this. Trailer has been in storage all this time for several reasons but the other day I took the faucet apart just like you guys did and low and behold it's fixed. I had no idea that restrictor was there until I saw this video so thank you again for posting it.

@@rubydually You are so welcome, Tim! Glad our video helped. Feel free to share our video!

LMFAO this absolutely crossed my mind. Many times. That being said, Liz, Paul (and Paul's package) definitely helped resolve the low water pressure issue in my RV kitchen island!

Oh my gosh! Yes, Paul is SERIOUS about his coffee! We are in the middle of watching your video where you hit Jason with a box! Too funny and great job! Can't wait to meet!

😂🤣 that seems so long ago!! And can’t wait to have good coffee with Paul!!!

Thanks for the birthday wishes!! Nice to know that from some perspectives I'm still a kid. Heck, I ate ice cream all day so maybe I am.... Thanks again for your comment. We will see you in the next video!

Yay, Christina! What good news and thanks for sharing! Feel free to pass this video on if you belong to a group or share it anyway you wish. So glad it helped. Happy camping to you!

Sounds like a winner! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks so much Michael! We will see you in the next video~!

Awww, thanks so much! It was a great day: ate lots of ice cream! And thanks for your kind words about the channel. We will see you in the next video!

Hi Lisa! Thanks so much. I had a great birthday in Moab! And ate lots of ice cream!! Yes, Paul is definitely a keeper with all these minor/major problems we've been having with the RV. We love to hear from you and look forward to seeing you in the next video!

Yes, run the water to flush. Thanks. And thank you for the birthday wishes. Here is another fix-it video, this time about our dimming lights: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5gjU54MfE0s.html

Oh my goodness, Warren. Hadn't thought of that, but yes, very likely we will encounter that at some point in our travels. And thanks for the birthday wishes. See you on the road!

He sure does! He's certainly everything I could ever hope for!!! And thanks for the birthday wishes, it was a great day. And we are both glad to have you with us- see you in the next video!

Liz Amazing ....looking forward to it! 💞

Yay! Glad we could help. Paul says it's two Phillips head screws on the jam nut and it will spin right off. We should probably post this on the 310 facebook page, but we want to be sensitive to not be "self-promoting." If you feel like posting it there or on the Solitude page, that's fine by us. And let us know how it goes when you take your faucet apart.

Hi Lori! So I am right behind you at 58. I feel great and glad to be fit and pain-free. I so enjoyed my solo year on the road and I bet you will, too. Paul and I look forward to meeting you on the road. And glad to hear you have that water pressure regulator, we are pleased with ours.

He has an excellent track record for fixing things, doesn't he? And thanks so much for the birthday wishes. It's been a good day!

Hi Mike, Thanks SO much for your kind words and praise. We are having fun making the videos and feel we must be doing something right since the channel is growing so fast. The best part is talking to the A-Team (the community of subscribers)- love hearing stories and learn SO much from you! Thanks again for your support!

Hope it helps. Feel free to share this video if you belong to a Facebook group or forum, and thanks for watching.

Wow, thanks for letting us know, Dan! Happy travels!

Thank you! Glad you found your problem. There's always something right? Thanks for watching and for your comment. Happy travels.

Happy birthday Greg, my birthday twin!!! Congrats on your retirement. We do love our 310GK. And now we very much look forward to meeting you on the road. Curious if our video tour helped all or in part with your decision? We are keeping track of how many for next time we talk to Grand Design.

No sorry Liz we found you and Paul after our purchase and I'm glad we did.

Ok, thanks. I did a video on my 260RD a year ago and can track 14 sales from that- wow! I need to get on their payroll. And it would be fun to meet up with you at a campground one day. Be safe.

Thanks so much Elizabeth! It was great-- I ate lots of ice cream!!!

Yay, that's so awesome, thanks Susan! Feel free to share this video if you are in an RV forum. Happy camping to you!

Thanks Rosemary! So we are just six months apart, how cool. 1962 was a good year. Thanks so much for the birthday wishes and your kind words!

It was my birthday so Paul did the dishes-- as usual! He actually is dismayed sometimes when I wash the dishes. I swear, I won the lottery with him!

Yay! So glad to hear. Paul says glad I could be of assistance.

That's what we tried when we had problems with just the hot water pressure, to try and figure out what the problem was. It's definitely a good starting point. Thanks for your comment.

Hi Honey, thanks so much. We love having you with us as we travel. See you in the next video!

Awww, thank you so much! Hope to see you on the road.

Oops, I pulled off the faucet head

Yay, so glad this worked. Feel free to share this video, and thanks for watching.

Oh my gosh, I hadn't heard of that forum. We will check it out, thanks for the tip! And thanks so much for the birthday wishes. Glad to be living this life!

Yay! So glad to hear this Ron. Your comment put a smile on Paul's face.

Thanks so much! Life is good.

Thanks so much, Carol! Spent it eating ice cream!!!

Gosh, I hope not, but at least you will know what to do!!! And glad to hear from you again Renee & Kyle! Hope you are enjoying your Solitude. Paul and I look forward to meeting you on the road someday, perhaps this winter? We will be in Arizona and California probably. You?

@@LizAmazing We are actually heading East for the winter to spend the holidays with family. Yes, we would absolutely love to meet up with you guys soon though! :) Stay safe - Kyle and Renee

And thanks so much!

Hello to you in Sweden! Thanks so much! We look forward to seeing you in the next video! And it was ice cream all day on my birthday!!!

Thanks so much for this. Paul wants it and hopes it comes in nickel finish. Sounds like you are more than a little familiar with water issues in your rig. Thanks again for the help!

Thanks so much Shelia! Yes, Paul is certainly VERY handy to have around! And so nice to hear from you. Happy canning!

Thanks Robert! I ate LOTS of ice cream!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks so much! Paul is the man for sure!

We have heard that! Even with the black tank from the toilet cut out. Crazy!

Thanks so much to you in Ohio! I've been having a great day! Glad to have you with us for our travels!

I think that's a great idea! Thank you very much. We are glad to have you on our team.

Double filter! That's what we're doing right now. On it!

You are so welcome! Happy camping!

Ooh good tip about the apple cider vinegar, that stuff is great for so many things. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I know! Won the lottery with Paul, for sure !

Hi Piper! I sure did. I ate ice cream, went for a bike ride, ate more ice cream...it was good!

That would make all the difference. Thanks for watching and feel free to share this video. See you in the next one.

Thanks so much! Headed for ice cream right now!!!

Yay, Eileen! Thanks for paving the way!

No, but we are going to be shopping for one maybe! We don't like how many are plastic and we will probably skip those and go for the real deal. And probably a brand name like Moen. Best of luck with yours.

@@LizAmazing I’m a fan of moen but just know that the ones they sell at Home Depot isn’t the same as from a plumbing only commercial wharehouse

Good luck! and thanks for watching.

Awesome, Jeremy! Let us know how it works out. And welcome to our channel! See you in the next video~!

Yes! We need to look into those. Thank you!!

Awww, thanks so much Lizzette!

Oh my gosh, how smart! I will tell Paul!

Awww, thank you!

Sounds like something with the Nautilus. I would check that there is not something clogging one of the inlets, and of course, that the levers are in the right direction. Best of luck!

Thanks so much! Spent it in Moab hiking and eating ice cream!!!

Yep, always something. Though we could do with these things happening less frequently! Thanks for watching and commenting! Happy camping to you.

Hi Lauren! Pizza is a MUST and ice cream. My favorite cake is carrot cake and/or German Chocolate. Sitting here right now eating ice cream! Thanks for the birthday wishes and for sharing your faucet story. I had not heard anything like that with the sawdust. Glad they got it figured out. Thanks again!

@@LizAmazing apparently the companies that put together the faucet components are not known for air blasting the parts free of debris before they package them! i do like carrot cake also; the spicier the better; i like cloves n allspice; i put allspice in a couple of peach apple fruit cups, heat it up, add stevia and you have a warm spicy fruity sweet dessert for cold nights, wonderful stuff! I once made apricot compote from 30 lbs of apricots from a neighbors tree; no sugar etc; sealed it in jars and WOW was that stuff awesome warmed up on cold nights; i ate...no kidding here... ELEVEN QUARTS of it in TWO MONTHS!!

Oh my goodness! That sounds so yummy! I love apricots!!!

@@LizAmazing actually i dont like apricots; i find them too dry BUT stewed in a compote with water or apple juice n allspice they were AWESOME...

Oh wow, Paul is especially glad to hear this. We are happy it helped. Happy camping to you!

We do need to learn about these. Do water softeners work the same as sediment filters? Are the sediment filters? And we didn't know about AFTER the water filter. So much to learn! Thanks~~

Hi! yes, water softeners remove sediment and do a lot more, specially around getting rid of hard water, which is water with mineral content too high. the one i use is the "on the go" brand and in their instructions is where they recommend putting it after the water filter. Reason for me to use is because we are most of the time in Florida which has a lot of hard water, if we were, say, in Oregon most of the time, i would not need it as much. What you guys showed in your faucet looks to me more like hard water residue than sediment. Hope that helps! and Happy Birthday Liz!

Hard water! Ok! Very helpful, thanks so much! Off to eat steak and ice cream now!

Thank you for watching, feel free to share!

Hi Jack. I do not know but if you call Grand Design they should be able to help you.

Thank you!

Thanks! Paul cooked homemade hashbrowns in it for my birthday.

We finally did a video about Paul's famous hashbrowns: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BUYIo6AVwuU.html

Yes, campground water can be the worst! We have two different kind of water filters. And then the water we drink is filtered by a third one. I don't know the names/kinds so I'll have Paul answer this one later today. Thanks again for watching!

Paul says we are using a whole house system that comes with the 310GK. Thanks again.

Oh my gosh! That's awesome!

Thanks so much Lulu!

I just asked Paul and he said all faucets are like that, that the last run on most faucets goes to 1/4.

Awww, thanks so much! If you haven't already, ring the bell to get a notification when our next video posts. Thanks for your well-wishes and kind words and we will see you in the next video!

Thank you!

Thank you so much, glad it helped. Feel free to share! And you might be interested in this video for sure: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iP5Xlb6awVo.html

Wow. We may need to do that. Clearly we need to do something or that faucet will clog up again. Good to know there is an electronic device. Paul will be researching this for sure.

I just bought the electronic unit at Home Depot about 2 month ago and I noticed no more iron stains on the shower rails, will find a pic and send it or just the unit itself model itself. Water softeners are really a must, was told over time that the minerals attach itself to the water lines and over time plug up everything . Will look in the morning what it’s called and send it in the chat

Scaleblaster SB 75 at Home Depot

I've used those and found them to be inconsistent in regulating the flow. I hope you got a good one, and maybe you did. If you find you have low pressure problems down the line, consider this regulator: amzn.to/3iqCSGZ

Awesome! Glad to hear this, Christine. Feel free to share this video.

Awww, thanks so much Richard! Life is very sweet right now.

Let us know in the comments!

Is that a restrictor or to save water? Where I live we have super low water pressure. When I put on the water-saving shower head and on the kitchen sink I have water pressure and it uses less water you should have use vinegar on that thing

LOL my camper is a t e n t

LetArtsLive I don’t know what that restrictor is supposed to do. When we tried it with it out, water pressure was far too much, spraying everywhere.

LetArtsLive That’s pretty awesome, actually!

Thanks so much Linda!

So far so good. And thanks so much for the birthday wishes!

Paul won't even let me use paper plates!

I would check everywhere for a shutoff, Amy. Ask the people in the Facebook group or online forum for your make and model. There might be one hidden somewhere. Thanks for watching.

I like your thinking! Here is our video about exactly that! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pGZDrbdlmL4.html

Hi! Agreed- Paul IS doing a great job!! thanks for your comment, we love hearing from you. Happy planning and reno-ing!

Awww, thanks Bonnie! And welcome to the channel!!

Whoo-hoo! Glad to here this video helped, feel free to share it if you want. And WELCOME to our channel!!!

No we didn't. We did one on mysterious low hot water pressure. Check that out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pGZDrbdlmL4.html

Thank you! The day was all about ice cream!!!

Thanks so much!!!

Oh my gosh! Yes, faucet washing has it's advantages for sure. For us that would also be not filling up our gray tank. Glad that big black bear didn't mess with you!!! And we cannot wait to explore Canada, especially BC. Truly so much to see! Thanks so much for the birthday wishes, has truly been a wonderful day. So are you on the road? Did you get out camping? We sure hope so and that you are away from all that smoke. Yes, Paul has that same mentality where he can just figure things out. He makes me laugh because he will just stare at something and wonder how it comes apart. As in...our fireplace! I'm like, leave it alone- don't mess with it! :-)

Liz Amazing No, still housebound. It's been so hot and so smoky that we really don't know where to go. And I always have this feeling that maybe we should be near here in case we need to load up the vehicles and evacuate. It's not that we're in a super high fire zone but it's all a fire zone. People in Santa Rosa subdivisions didn't feel like they were in a fire zone, either. Coffey Park, a basic flatlands tract, was totally wiped out. When we lived in the Oakland hills in the '90s, we were only 1 mile along the ridgeline from where the big Oct, 1991 Oakland Hills firestorm stopped. It took out 3000 homes within a 5-15 minute drive of us. So far the AQI has been under 200. If it got any higher, I think we would leave and try to drive into Nevada to Great Basin. But heading north doesn't seem practical with the fires up there and the heat. It's been in the 100° range a lot. Nowhere south of us for a long ways that isn't hot and smoky. We're trying to decide where to go and thinking maybe we'll shoot for next week. But if it's really hot out there, there's really no point in going anywhere just to hole up in a cramped B van when we can sit around in a roomy air-conditioned condo. The bear is another story. I was busy washing my dishes under the faucet when from a couple of camping rows away I heard someone say calmly but with urgency "there's a bear behind you". I thought it was kids goofing around, there had been some teenagers or college kids horsing around out there earlier. And it was about two rows away. But I stood up and turned around and there is this hulking bear lumbering right behind me through our site. The water was running and I didn't hear him at all. I've watched enough nature shows that I know that you can't outrun a beer, and I know that what you're supposed to do if you're attacked is drop, cover your head and neck and play dead, which is totally non-intuitive. But I thought, "I can do that". But he just kept lumbering through, so I pretended like I hadn't even noticed him and just ambled into our little A-frame trailer, knowing full well that it provided next to zero protection if he decided to rip his way in. And then I said, "Jerry Jerry there's a bear outside!" And we cracked the door and watched through a slit as he got to the end of the site, turned around, stood his full height of, I don't know, 8 feet? and went up and down up and down scratching his back on the tree. Straight out of Central Casting! Then he lumbered on. I found out later that he was heading for the dumpsters. A been-there-done-that kind of bear... (unfortunately it was nearly dark, so I couldn't get a picture. Black bear against dark tree. Now, with my iPhone 11 Pro camera, I could have, but the old 6 was terrible at lowlight pictures. I probably should've tried anyway, but I didn't.)

Trish Benedict love your stories Trish. Just so happens am heading to Golden in 24 hrs. Happy belated Liz. Cheers 🍻

Spykers B. There is a municipal park for camping in Golden. It's right along the river and is very pleasant. And if you happen to be a train fan, the main line runs right across the river from the campground. That made my husband very happy. :)

@Trish Great story about the bear! Paul and I look forward to trading stories around the campfire someday. And can totally understand your travel dilemma!

Awww, thanks so much!!

Hi Road Hog! Paul says ours are 5 micron. The problem with some of those is the water goes through a pinhole and they can drastically reduce water pressure. We do need some kind of filter for the minerals though.

Yep! Paul is very thorough and wanted to rule out everything on the way. Hope this video saves you time if you ever have low water pressure in your RV.

Good point about the filters. So now after thinking about this we think it must be hard water. We will probably need a water softener. And we do have an anode and check it. We show it in this video (boy they get gunked up quick!): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pGZDrbdlmL4.html Thanks for your kind words about the channel and am SO happy to hear my camper crash video did some good. Congrats on your F250!

That's a great point. And the more we think about it the more we are realizing that that crud was probably calcium. It could be hard water that is the problem. We are researching that now. Thanks for your comment!

We have a Chevy Silverado 2500HD. Paul made a modification turning it into essentially a one ton. Costs less than $300. Here's our video about that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d5Z32tI1Uqg.html
