I shut off my water to the TT every time we leave. I just don't trust the system to hold, and I certainly don't want to clean up a mess when I return. Is this unwarranted paranoia, or is it prudence? Do you shut your water off?What other things do you do every time you leave?

Shutting off the water is common practice. Many folks do it. I usually forget as I'm having too much fun.

Yeah, if I remember I shut off the water. If we're dry camping I shut off the pump and water heater.

Never thought about it till you mentioned it, guess now I'll be paranoid too.

Uh . . . we do this. Guess we're paranoid too, worse since we turn off the water heater too.

When I'm away from the camper during the day, I shut off the water. As a full timer, I've seen unoccupied campers literally flooded due to a break in the plumbing. While relatively uncommon, it's ugly. Only takes a minute to turn off the water when I leave for the day and on when I return.

And I never... never hook-up my fresh water hose before sanitizing the hose bib.:)
