BTW I told the manufacturer of my trailer about the push button mod, they thought it a great idea and have forwarded the suggestion to their design team.
Good mod and I hope Northwood incorporates your idea into all there products.
In wives Arctic Fox (Northwood also) we had a problem with a hose clamp coming loose and hose popped off and water made a mess. I don't know if your TT is different than ours but our water pump is just below the floor surface. Sort of tucked along side water tank just under floor surface. We would not any water get inside trailer (only underneath)if there was some type of shield or deflector over pump and connections. So after getting all wet insulation out I got a piece of vinyl (old vinyl car floor mat actually) and put over top of pump and hose connections. Also I now check tightness of hose clamps twice a year. There is still room for air circulation if those pumps need it? I think it a good idea but still not 100% sure because it so simple I wonder why Northwoods didn't slap something over pump when building it?
I have also put a small line with a felt tip marker on at faucets connections underneath. That way I can tell with a quick look with a flashlight if they are wiggling loose and hopefully before water show up.
Good thing you were not on city water when you sprung a leak?
Once again great mod.
