The drain cap on later model vans is NOT the same size as a garden hose fitting. The sink is, but not the reservoir. I do not know of a source for a cap that will fit. I have tried a variety of caps including plumbing hardware and have yet to find something that matches. I will probably epoxy ours this spring, as right now it has duct tape holding it together but it still drips.
