Have a 2004 kontiki and the bathroom basin tap is leaking from underneath and suspect a new tap is needed.Can anybody tell me if connections under tap are push on pull off or are they crimped.From the limited viewing space I have I cannot tell and by touch not sure at all.Grateful for any help.

Perhaps a mirror and torch may help you see what type of pipe fitting you have.

...and failing that, have you a caravan/motorhome accessory outlet nearby? somewhere you could just have a close up look at what it is you may be feeling? (..ooer missus!  ).

Having said that, if you can't get at it to see it, have you thought how you are you going to get to reach it in order to tighten or renew it?...

Depending on what space you have you could try using a digital camera/phone/dash-cam/webcam to look at the connection. The technology is so small and yet capable these days.

Good luck
