  • Available Lengths of Heated Fresh Water Hoses for RVs
  • I checked with my contact at Camco and they do not offer an accessory hose heater that can be added to a fresh water hose item such as # CAM22853. But they do offer heated water hoses that are available in various lengths. Part # CAM22903 is a heated 50-foot water hose and this and all other similar items from Camco and AquaFresh are shown on the linked page. Another option my Camco contact mentioned was using lengths of foam pipe insulation, the kind normally used in homes that have...

  • Replacement RV Fresh Water Pump for 2018 Greywolf Travel Trailer
  • I looked up the water pump you have and it is a 3.0 gallons per minute. The HydroMax RV Fresh Water Pump - 12 Volt - 3 Gallons Per Minute at 55 psi, # P25201 is a good option. This can be positioned either vertical or horizontal orientation and has a built in check valve to prevent back flow. This is installed using standard half inch diameter hose making it a good replacement option for any OEM pump that has an approximate flow rate of 3 gallons per minute. Even though we do not carry...

  • RV Water Tank Heating Pad
  • That is heavily dependent on the specific application and proximity of heated pad to potentially combustible material. This heater pad is designed primarily for installation onto the bottom of exposed waste tanks, or steps. That doesn't mean it can't be used safely for enclosed fresh water tanks, it can, but concern for enclosed installation must be taken in account for safety.

  • Replacement Water Inlet Cap with Gasket Or Seal
  • I'm not sure of the exact reason why some of these don't have gaskets and I'm not aware of any reason why they don't include them; none of the caps we carry come with an actual gasket but there are some options that provide a better seal than others. I recommend checking out the Replacement RV Gravity Fill Spout with Plastic Cap - Black # 372222-224BK-A, which doesn't have a gasket but does create a seal on your spout using screw in fittings that will keep debris and outside water from...

  • Availability of 8 Foot High Pressure Rated Fresh Water Hose for RV
  • The Camco Premium RV Drinking Water Hose - 5/8" Inner Diameter - 10' Long # CAM22823 will handle high pressure up to 300 psi. It does not come in an 8 foot length. We have a shorter length hose at 5 feet long # W01-0009 that is pressure rated. It has a rating of 375 psi burst and 195 psi working pressure so it isn't as durable as the Camco option.

Still when using these items in a salt water environment be sure to hose them off after use with fresh water. We do not have Kodiak kits for 2 axles that include new lines and a controller. However we can build a kit for you ala carte. To build the correct kit we will need your axle...
