Hey all. Heres my little update.
I stopped by the trailer today armed with all the usual tools to get things done if i was to find things still liquid. Unfortunately not that lucky though. Quick inspection of the kitchen p trap revealed solid ice. So…i stopped there. Didn't even look at the pump. Unless you all advise me otherwise i'm waiting till next week when there are some above freezing days in the forecast. I figure then i will drag the trailer home run the heat for a few days and hope for the best. Does anyone figure getting at this tomorrow vs a warmer day will make a difference ?
I drained all the tanks, pulled the Hot water tank plug, and opened all taps when i parked it back when. When winterizing I don't normally use my compressor to blow things out. Normally i use the pump to fill all the lines till everything runs red, then leave taps open. I pour whats left into the traps and grey/black tanks. Checking the outside shower and city water lines are running red as well.
Ha,ha ! I'm really kicking myself. i SO knew better than to get myself in this predicament.
