How to Replace a RV Plumbing Vent Cap

[@ToddStull]

That should be a 1/4" nut driver so you may have been able to take your screw tip out of the driver and use that. My favorite drill that I carry with my gear is the Milwaukee 4 in 1 install driver. Perfect for rv work especially with the offset and right angle attachments... it's a little pricey but worth it. I recently had to replace the top globe above my shower. It was old and cracked a little so water got between the 2 globes. I couldn't get the globe right away so I still had to cut the caulk and jamb close pins between the 2 so the water would drain out. I couldn't get the smoke finish so had to go with the clear... now my bathroom is super bright.

That’s good to know on the nut driver! I’ll be back up on the roof tomorrow so I’ll check it out. I have a cheap drill buried near the water pump. No fancy attachments yet. Luckily our top dime in the shower is ok. I can’t imagine using a clear dome. Yesterday was so hot we hung a towel up in that window to block the heat!

I may have started to lose my feeling of harmony around the 2 hour mark! If my forearms are sweating, I’m hot! Headed back up early tomorrow to mount two additional solar panels.

“I’ll knock three times on the ceiling if I need ya” LOL love the Tony Orlando reference

[@CupcakeChroniclesTC]

Twice on the pipes, if the answer is no. 🤣🤣

[@christopherleedle2064]

LOL, Todd I was thinking the same thing as I watched Steve do that.

[@CupcakeChroniclesTC]

Steve is still pretty tickled by that hack!! It makes me smile a little too. N

[@laurab9247]

Thank you for teaching me how to accomplish this necessary, non-sexy job!

[@CupcakeChroniclesTC]

You bet! Thanks for watching. Hopefully your project goes smoothly.

Ladders work great for any work on the edges of the RV. 😉👍🏼

[@CupcakeChroniclesTC]

That’s definitely true! But in a smaller truck camper, we just don’t have the room to drive a ladder around!

[@coler154]

@@CupcakeChroniclesTC you could find a really compact telescoping ladder

[@CupcakeChroniclesTC]

@@coler154 that’s a good idea. We’re just always balancing weight vs usefulness of everything we carry. It’s crazy how fast it all adds up. We even go through our clothing regularly to reduce weight.

Did you use a plastic or metal pudding night

[@CupcakeChroniclesTC]

We used a PVC pipe and vent cap.

[@desireemillion]

Why don't you just remove the screw, pull the top off and replace just the top?

[@CupcakeChroniclesTC]

The vent cap itself wasn’t broken. The connection beneath the cap, that holds the vent cap in place, was broken. To replace that portion the entire vent cap assembly needed to be replaced.

[@desireemillion]

oh ok

[@CupOJoeGeez]

Who got the reference to the song? Knock 3 times on the ceiling if you want me!!

[@CupcakeChroniclesTC]

@@CupOJoeGeez I love it when someone gets us!!! 🤣👍

[@TheMomentEnds1]

With that bedded in sealant, really no need to use screws.

[@CupcakeChroniclesTC]

That’s good input. Thanks for watching!

[@camarogs1]

Pull the flat driver out and just use the driver itself. It is 1/4"

[@CupcakeChroniclesTC]

Yes! I learned this after I posted the video! How awesome is that?!?
