Nice job! And no cutting or fitting, just peel & stick?

The picture shown was made from about 2 1/2 of the peel and stick vinyl panels.
They are interlocking but you have to cut the ends.
Picked them up at Home Depot

That is in my spring plans. Like it. Something I think RW should have done, to match the one behind the stove.

I would agree, for the cost of these coaches, the little things should be done right.

Anyone else feel the fixtures are cheap in our Redwoods? I wanted to replace ours the minute I saw them. I don't think they will hold up for long. I have no idea what brand they are?

That's what I will do, but again you would think they would put in good quality to begin with. My question is this a brand that is used that possibly weighs less than Delta and other brand name fixtures? I know weight is a factor.

I would agree, the fixtures are not heavy weight name brand fixtures that you would find at the local hardware / plumbing supply store.
The fixtures seem to be decent quality items for the RV market and ours work just fine.
Guess we will continue to use them till we have a problem with them.

We are almost at 3 years with our fixtures and no real mechanical issues. The bathroom handle is starting to look a little worn. I"ve taken them apart and lubed them with plumbers grease. Fulltime in our unit for almost 2 years.

Had to replace kitchen faucet in first 6 months & bought replacement at Lowes, much better quality. With dishwasher it was a bitch to get to.

Ours are Durafaucet.

http://www.durafaucet.com/

Our shower set has been replaced under warranty for peeling, but all have operated fine. The company is responsive and never hesitated to take care of the problem, however I don't know if the issue was unique to a few sets in production or if I just got replacements of the same problem. Time will need to decide that.

Isn't it weird that the RV industry seems to have their own set of suppliers that only build for RVs, even though they look and work like everyday residential hardware? It's no surprise that when you open the website, a motorhome is at the top. Electrical is the same way.

As said above, Home Depot or Lowes carry anywhere from cheap low quality to high end by special order - but even the cheapest are most likely a step above RV fixtures.

The shower is what looks so bad in our unit and I wipe everything down every time it's used. I don't see a brand name on ours Dan. I think they put the same fixtures in all the units. Ours is a 2013. I dint know if they have changed ant along the way.
