Help. Broken part advice needed on obtaining spare. (1 Viewer)

[PhilandMena]

Hi,
Had a bit of a distributor today, noticed water underneath cooker and upon investigation found the cause was the sink drainer connector above, which as you can see from the picture has had it and so we now have no sink until I can get a spare. We are on the move in Portugal and currently at Foz Do Arelho and will be in Porto by Friday. Not returning home until end of June and wild carming until then. I would welcome advice on how to deal with my dilemma. Thanks in advance.

Buy a 2 handled camping bowl and do the pots in the bowl in the sink, then empty the bowl outside. Meanwhile contact a dealer and get them to DHL one out to you.

Looks like its been bodged up before.

Try sending the picture to O'leary's

Looks like the same part that went on my Carthago. I would suggest that quite a few MH manufacturers use this part so should be fairly available throughout Europe.

I got my replacement from Chris at parts@premiermotorhomes.uk He is aware of the manufacturer of this part - unfortunately, I can't remember the source.

Suggest you try the local Portuguese MH dealers. Your pic seems to show it's not fixable. My unit just had a crack on the perimeter flange.

We took our old one into a motorhome repairers/dealer and they had one to fit. We were near Tranche-sur-mer in France, so not really much help to you! I'm sure there must be a repairers somewhere near where you are in Portugal.

Is the drainer separate to the sink?

If its attached put some self almalgame tape over the outlet

Or find a stream to do the washing up or buy paper plates

Check the sink hole and outlet pipe dimensions, there are quite a few available, but this looks like a good match from you pic.

To be faire it looks like a standard overflow outlet of a kitchen sink

I've been on the net and there's loads of different sizes and I don't have a tape measure. It's not a show stopper just an inconvenience and hopefully we will resolve in the coming days.

Just take it in to one of the numerous hardware stores and you're bound to find a suitable replacement.

 

[Minxy]

If you DO still intend to use the sink, for goodness sake put a load of gaffer tape over the hole as you know you'll forget the outlet has been removed and poor water into the sink ...

Nip up the road to Sao Martinho, there is a massive site there and they sell some bits. The site is at the end of the bay, on the right before you get into the town

Otherwise, going in to Caldas Da Rainha, there is an AKI, a Bricomarche and a place called Mechalvina (in the industrial zone).

Or

Campsite Orbitur Foz do Arelho - Caldas de Rainha GPS [lat,long]: 39.431007,-9.201440

Looks similar to a shallow shower drain

Good luck

Quick PS: I will be in Foz around 7/8th June and can always bring one out and meet you if desperate

Many kind thanks but will be on the Spanish coast then and edging home. I'll definitly try the campsite in Foz as it's just up the road and the owner here, about to close for the night said chat in the morning. I have also found a dealer 27 k North of Porto and hopefully get lucky with one of these options. Last resort will be to ship one out from the uk to friends were meeting up with in two weeks time.

No worries. We'll probably end up passing each other on the way!

Good luck with the site at Foz, they're a friendly bunch. Otherwise Sao Martinho is 10 minutes up the road, well worth a visit anyway (best ice cream and only milk shake parlour you'll find for 100 miles, right on the sea front)

Safe travels

We tried a lot of bricolage in France nothing was anywhere near the size

Looks like this would be close enough- send me an adress and I'll post it. Could take a week though.

[PhilandMena]

A kind offer, thank you. However, 1. I'm on the move and unable to supply a delivery address and 2. Not quite convinced this is the right size. I am grateful for Funster help. One of the reasons this forum stands head and shoulders above others.

When did you start washing Phil!
