Thank you for posting your solution. In it you mentioned that the installer tightened the fitting too tight. There is a possibility that not all of the water was drained from the system when winterizing and that fitting froze and broke. Just something to think about next winter when winterizing. It only takes a little water in a line to break something. JMO
You are correct and I thought about last Sunday when I was working on it. One thing I learned this year that I didn't know, when a camper is shipped new from the factory there is no antifreeze in them at all. According to the service manager there tested with air pressure and not water from the factory and unless the dealers check them with water they DO NOT winterize a trailer from the factory.
I too delivery in mid Feb. and my dealer who is also a personal friend of mine checked all the water system's and then winterized the system for me. It is something to keep in mind when I winterize next winter.
