Lesson Learned!!
Well not long ago there was a post on here about turning off the water when leaving the trailer for any period of time more than hour or so. I responded that we don't as treat much like our Sticks & Bricks. Well that that all changed this last Sunday! We were out of the 5er in town doing some work on our daughters town house, we had left the dogs in the trailer, and at some point one got up on the counter and caught the kitchen sink faucet and turned on the water! Well tank filled, sink filled and then spilled on to carpet and so on!
We are a bit lucky it was clean water, and currently it is hot and dry! Rug Doctor to get 99% of water out of rugs, dehumidifier running full time inside sucking moisture of of the air, underbelly opened up the coreplast I had installed and have a carpet blower running 24/7 into that space (carpet blower is blocked up upside down so the nozzle is directly in line with the opening in the corplast to dry out the under floor insulation.
Lesson Learned will be turning off the water any time we leave the trailer!!!!!
Damage so far noted; The edge to the particleboard counter top has expanded and will need to be replaced, the boards that form the frame for the plywood panels on the backside of the sink peninsula are shot and will need to be replaced. That seems to be worse than particleboard, more like sawdust board wrapped in a wood grain paper, some nice fall projects!
