uhoh, no winterization and it was 7 last night...

I did not do any winterization. What am I looking at as far as possible damage? It was too late to drain when I got to the trailer.



Temperature swung from 90 last weekend and is supposed to be in the 60s tomorrow...



I guess when it thaws, I should try and pressurize things... .

Where do you live? 90° to 7° in one week is a killer.

I forgot to drain the hose for the sprayer in the kitchen sink and the hand-held shower head in the bathtub one year. Both were split from freezing at the connections. Hopefully your trailer retained enough heat inside that you won't have any damage.

Several years ago I picked up a camper on the "as is" lot. It had not been winterized. AFter I fixed a couple broken plumbing elbows I put pressure to it. I found the hot water heater had split about 6" long! Cleaned up the mess, got my buddy to weld the crack shut and it worked until I sold it a couple years later.

I put pressure on it yesterday. There is a pin-hole leak in the water filter canister and the kitchen sink line is still frozen so I have to wait a while to complete the tests but I dont see any water comming out of the HWH.

I got a cracked ptrap in the kitchen sink. JB Welded it and it is fine. I thought I drained the whole thing in my new trailer but forgot about the inline water filter. It was frozen, but hadn't cracked. Thawed everything out and ran antifreeze through. So far so good.

duuuh, water filter. I didnt think of that... ..... I have a heater on in the trailer, hopefully it hasnt frozen

 

[Todd T]

Sheew, I dodged that bullet. Just went out and checked and the 10K gal water filter canister was empty I used air pressure on the both the city hook up and at the water pump. I guess one of the two did the trick.

well, the kitchen sink is a moen with a flexible hose-end. The faucet will not run any water. I guess the valve has been damaged by the freeze. That fixture looks like a fun thing to replace No room at all.
