The CAP for the Frig. Burner Drain, the male cap (plug) that screws into the drain tube exiting under the frig., is as I recall, a 7mm X 1.0 metric parallel thread. In general, 7mm is not a common stocked size. What I am about to suggest next is really OFF THE WALL but....... The bolts that fix the rear brake drums to the rear hubs are 7mm. Sooooo, in a pinch, one could "barrow" one off either of the rear Drums. Fit an appropriate Sealing Washer and you would be good to go! I admit my suggestion is no easy fix. If a Plastic Tire Valve Cap fits and seals with a modicum of reliability..... sounds like a more realistic solution. As for a Source for a replacement part? Check the N. Amer. Distributor for Domestic. Recall the West Coast Office is just outside of Portland, Oregon. I too am at a loss for finding a Source for the Fresh Water Tank Cap (meaning DRAIN or FILL???). I believe the Fresh H2O Tank Drain Caps are available from a few of the list venders as for the Fill Caps........ I believe either an Auto Wrecker or a New Complete Fill Assembly (major$$$) are viable options. Good searching to you. PZ |
