This makes me sad, it's means my season is almost over.
Happy camping, bye Dennis
if you are adding antifreeze to the fresh water tank and pumping it through the system, you are wasting a bunch of money. just buy a winterizing kit that goes just before the pump and don't have to partially fill up your water tank. 1 1/2 gal of antifreeze should do it.
and yep, either the line was old or more likely, they didn't do an adequate job of winterization on that separate line.

A bunch of money? RV antifreeze at walmart is 2.96 gal. Four gals is 12,, I don't mind spending that once a year instead of re-plumbing my water lines so I have an inlet for the antifreeze.

Everyone is saying if the ice caps and icebergs melt, there will be major flooding. I THINK, if / when they melt, the water levels will go down, because ice takes up more room than water.
Ice floats. 9/10 of an iceberg is above water, so when it thaws, water level will rise.
I think those who comments ted on brittleness of frozen plastic have something. Freezing a half full milk bottle doesn't usually cracking it, but why take a chance with trailer water lines.
