Water Pipes To Bathroom Faucet

We were on a trip to Montana, ND, etc and the bathroom faucet wouldn't turn off.  Got home and decided to change it.  After seeing the pipes/connections I decided to do away with the useless (to me) outside shower.  For a little less than $40 I changed the pex to braided lines.  I attached a pic of the pipes.  There are at least 25 connections.  Now tell me that is just a leak waiting to happen.

Each to his own.

As for me, I have found the outside shower useful at times, wouldn't think of getting rid of it.

BTW: Our 2007 PC originally came with a very cheap white plastic bathroom faucet, nearly identical to the outside shower.  I replaced it without tools, very easy to do.  I installed a nice one with a swivel spigot like a kitchen faucet has.  The sink is so small, it's nice to have a long spanning spigot into the sink that you can move out of your way when needed.

I would agree with to each their own.  Bangorbob, you have a twelve year old rig, that had lots of problems that you have been working on... But one problem you haven't said you had was pex connections leaking.  PC uses brass fittings and copper crimp rings.  They're pretty darn solid.

Most of the problems in my RV have been either age or neglect.  Little things that never got taken care of.  I don't like rattles, squeaks, or things that have probably been improved on later models.   I do enjoy tinkering and tweaking.  Never said that I had leaks.  This is not my first RV and I have had pex connections on other RVs develop leaks.  My personal belief is the more connections you have, the more likely over time it will leak.  Besides, I have never used an outside shower even when we camped with our children. 

I don't like rattles, squeaks, or things that have probably been improved on later models.

Our rig is one year older than your rig.  I would think we have similar rattles and squeaks.

If you have not done so already, you might find my list of personal posts interesting, especially those applicable in addressing house noises.  CLICK HERE to take you to that list.

A few things not covered in that list of posts are....
- place silicone hot pads on stove grates, then set your stove covers
- add felt pads on the two hinges for the flip up counter
- place foam drawer liners everywhere, even in utensil trays and fridge door trays (also prevents gray marks)
- place half-sheet paper towels in between stacked kitchenware (they double as use-towels when desperate)
- make sure the screws that secure the frame of your main entry door did not shear off (especially the two on the threshold)
- place can and jarred food items in small plastic crates to contain them better
- if your TV rattles, place felt pads in-between internal shielding, and also secure it better (my situation was likely unique)

Things that address rattles in "blanket fashion" are.....
- proper tire pressure (do not over-inflate)
- if like our 2350, replace your front coil springs with a lower-rated set (read my post in that list)
- carry a full tank of fresh water and empty waste tanks when leaving home

Much of what I share, you likely have figured out with your many years of motor home ownership.  I'm probably preaching to the choir.

Thanks for the replies.   Ron,  I have read all your mods and have copied a few.  I am the 3rd owner.  I am pretty sure the 2nd owners took care of the unit, not so sure about the orignal owners.  Anyway, I am slowly working on things and will eventually get it the way we like it.  If I didn't have an RV I would only be left riding my Can am spyder instead of tinkering.
