I had posted this back in May 25 2014, regarding no water in T.T. Well let me tell you what was the problem. (They need it to replace the city water hookup ( Wow six weeks to take care of this issue? ) Enough of that what, matters now is that I got my baby back and I am happy:)

Dido!! Had the same problem with low pressure last year. CW replaced the city water inlet and whoopie!! - water pressure. They said the back flow valve becomes clogged over time and restricts the water flow. Neve would have guessed. I had spent a lot of time and effort looking for a kinked water line in the trailer. Blew my mind when they were all good.

I was once told by a friend that building a RV is not rocket science ans any one should be able to make repairs to their RV. I don't believe him at all. BUT replacing a city water intake is easy enough for even me to do it. I have done two now BUT ;there is no way I want to tackle a frig or furnace or a cook stove or a water heater. when it comes to gas appliances I let the pros do the work. I have done awning and slide out awnings and windows and some of the other things on board but that is all I am qualified to do.

Precisely ! Not to mention the fuel cost there and back. Fix it yourself, work slow, drink a beer while doing it, stop occasionally during the task and sit in a lawn chair and admire your work.

This is great, you've got it back and it's still camping season. :) I would though hook up a hose and make sure nothing leaks before I pulled it to a campsite.

I agree with M GO BLUE; a simple task that should take very little time. As a mechanical moron, I can understand the reluctance of anyone to tackle some things, but, having replaced 2 over the years, I can only encourage folks to try this one themselves and save a couple of bucks and time off the road. It ain't too sophisticated. Glad you're back on the road! Happy trails!

City water hookup replacement should take no more that 20-25 minutes...unscrew from side of trailer and emove caulk and hose hookup...hook new connection to hose, rescrew back on and recaulk

Glad there was a happy ending to your saga.

Enjoy your TT.
