Hi Everyone and thank you for reading my post.

I am new to the pop-up experience (been tenting it for years)
and just bought a 96 coleman taos for $600. I have gone through the whole camper. I have a couple small tears in the canvas to fix and I have the electrical working perfectly.  My question is to the water system.

I hooked up the hose to my outside connection which runs straight to my little sink and water is coming out all around the base of the faucet.
After furthur investigation, there is a rubber bladder inside the faucet base that has pulled away from the sides or cracked.  

Where can I find a replacement or should I just replace the whole faucet? Where can i find a new one? What is the actual part called?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your help.

I replaced mine with one from Home Depot........It doesnt have the pump..but it costs 18 bucks....versus 50 or so. My Seapine had a Shurflo Water Wizard that is no longer available.
It works fine because I only use city water. It would work with stored water if I added a 12v pump.

Hi! We have a 93 coleman destiny cedar that I think is similar to your taos. We had the same problem as you did with the faucet. Our faucet is made by leisure components. I believe it is called a 2 way faucet. You push down for city water and pump it for water from the tank. They do make a rebuild kit for it that I ordered from a rv dealer in my area (southern mn). It comes with everything you need to totally rebuild the faucet and I believe it was around $12.

Thank you for your responses. I found some parts on amazon.com
it is made by leisure compenents. i ended up buying a whole new setup for 38 bucks. i did see a repair kit for like 18 bucks, but mine has a stress fracture on it in addition to a cracked rubber diaphram.  Figured just replace it.

i contacted a local dealer and they wanted 120 bucks for the same part.
Hope to be camping soon.

good luck and god bless

new question...

My stove in my 96 coleman taos is removeable for outdoor cooking.
i can remove it and i see the propane quick connect on the outside of my pop-up, but how does the bracket connect.
i am thinking the bracket the previous owner gave me is not for it.

Can someone tell me where i can find a replacement bracket or what its suppose to look like?
