To leak or not to leak (Slide Out Stories)

Forget slide leaks. They are pretty rare and it would only be a little bit of water anyway. The big flood hazard is the on board plumbing, in particular leaving campground water hooked up and turned on. Many a sad guy has returned from dinner to see water coming out the front door because someone left a faucet open or a pipe burst.

We use campground water ONLY for filling the on board tank. If we leave, we shut off the pump and bleed off the pressure. If in a FHU site, always leave the gray valve open unless saving up gray water to flush hose after dumping the black.

Wow that would just kill me to see water coming out the door. Every time we hook the water up to our pop-up I get a flashlight and check every hose that I can see and run water in the sink and check the drain every trip. But we are upgrading to a TT and I promise you I will know the plumbing inside and out. I appreciate your post so much this exactly the type of thing I would want to know. And I will do it like you.
