Expert Answers about RV Fresh Water


  • What is the PSI Rating of the JR Products RV Check Valve for Fresh Water Systems
  • The RV Check Valve for Fresh Water Systems # 37262195 has a 600 psi rating. I confirmed this with my contact at JR Products. Since RVs are almost always rated for a max psi rating between 40 - 50 so you won't need to worry about longevity with this piece. If you're referring to the amount of pressure needed to open up the plunger that isn't something that JR Products (or any manufacturer for that matter) tests simply because it is a minimal amount of water pressure that opens the plunger.

  • Will Galvanized Bunk Rollers Rust if Always Submerged in Water
  • The CE Smith Roller Bunks # CE27700 are made with galvanized steel which is designed to resist rust. However, it's not 100 percent rust-proof. Over exposure to water, like keeping them submerged all the time, will speed up the process. It's impossible to say how long they'll last but the short answer is yes, they will eventually rust. One suggestion to prolong this is to build the dock in sections so that you can switch the parts that are submerged periodically. This way the parts...

  • Can Galvanized Wheel be Used with Boat Trailer in Saltwater?
  • You could absolutely use the Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel - 13" x 4-1/2" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized Finish Item # AM20234 with your saltwater use boat trailer. Hosing it off may extend it's life. These would be much better and would avoid the peeling or flaking of a painted wheel. I've added a link to a review video of this wheel for you to take a look at.

  • Who Manufactures The Excel RV Tankless Water Heater
  • The manufacturer of the Excel RV Tankless Water Heater # EX93FR is Excel America and has not listed ties to CampLux. That being said, most manufacturer companies outsource the manufacturing process to another company so both Excel and CampLux could be getting their water heaters manufactured in the same facility. I recommend reaching out to Excel America via their website or calling them for further information.

  • I spoke to my contact at JR Products and he said that the RV Landing Gear Switch - 12V - Black # 37213635 is not waterproof. He did give me a different option that is water-resistant and that is the Single Momentary Reversing Switch - On/Off/On - Water Resistant - DPDT - Black # 37213865. He told me that these two switches have the same function and the same layout, but the # 37213865 is not labeled. He also said that while it is water-resistant, if a pool of water collected on it, it...

  • Is Rear View Safety Wireless Side Camera Waterproof, Installation, and Can Signal Booster be Used
  • I did a little digging and found that the Rear View Safety Wireless Side Camera # RVS-775W as a whole carries an IP68 rating. The 6 indicates that it is dust tight meaning dust cannot get in. The 8 indicates continuous immersion in water at a depth of 1 to 3 meters for a given amount of time. So what all that means is that rain or washing the RV will not cause water to get inside the unit and it will function properly. Unless the camera is submerged deep under water and/or underwater for...

  • Is RV Hand Pump Water Faucet Metal or Plastic
  • The RV Hand Pump Faucet part # 37297025 is a plastic that has a chrome finish on it. This allows it to be lighter in weight which is a very common for RV interior components since it allows them to be lighter weight since towing capacities of the vehicles are a factor. If all of the RV interior components were as heavy and as heavy duty as house components the RVs would weight so much that only heavier duty vehicles would be able to tow them. That said this isn't a low quality component...
