Assess Old Faucet and Prepare Area

What happens here

Begin by assessing the existing faucet, noting any leaks around the base or handle. For the RV, locate the water hook-up panel on the exterior of the motorhome, typically on the back driver's side. Turn off the water pump using the designated switch and then open both the hot and cold low-point drain valves to completely drain the water system. Return inside the RV and open the sink faucet to release any remaining pressure and water from the lines.

Goal: Identify the leak source of the old faucet and prepare the work area by turning off the water supply and draining the system.
