Prudence or Paranoia?
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? ...

ALL RV's are plumbed with plastic tubing with plex fittings. It's NOT your house 'pipe' plumbing by ANY means! And the cost of the coach does not change they way in which they are plumbed.
My house is plumbed with plex piping. The traps under the sink are plastic. Basically no different than our RV. We never shut it off. We also don't shut off the water heater. Once we arrive on site (which all have been water/electric minimum) and the water is turned on and the hot water heater is going, they are both left turned on. Might start turning the water heater off though as it does seem to light a lot more easier (on first time) as apposed to the travel trailer. TT water heater was gas. MH has both gas and electric.
So those that turn off the water, do you also turn off the electric?
You beat me to it. I was ask the same 'bout the electric so that you don't catch fire. Electrical wiring is not as good in a camper as is in a S&B house.
And don't y'all forget to shut your grey water valves so the sewer monsters don't crawl into your sinks while you're away.
I full time. I've yet to see water pouring out of any camper at the parks I go to. Can it happen? Sure, but I have better things to concern myself with.
