Frozen broken water pipe
Hey Guys A friend down on the Texas coast got a surprise with the recent cold weather and returned to his home, a 2006 Trail-Lite TT, to find that a pipe had broken inside the trailer somewhere and flooded one end of the trailer. Of course the foor is soaked and the floor deck has started to warp. He would like to find the location of the leak. Are there any plumbing diagrams available? The insurance policy says that freezing is not a covered event. He is looking for suggestions as to how to handle it. Naturally he is attempting to dry things out with fans etc. but he is wondering if replacing part of the floor is even possible. Any thoughts from you guys? This is his full-time home.4.7KViews0likes9Comments- 313Views0likes0Comments
Re: lake camping
We have stayed at Lake Wright Patman SE of Texarkana Texas at a COE park that was great. Just returned from our first time at LCRA park near LaGrange TX called Oak Thicket Park. We will be going back. Also a GBRA park at Coleto Creek Reservoir east of Victoria TX that is nice. Check 'em out on-line.337Views0likes0CommentsRe: lake camping

Hey Guys I have some friends gate guarding in South Texas and are operating their 5th wheel on a generator since they're out in the boonies. They have no wi-fi so here I am at their service. They are having a new problem since getting there. They say that every time the A/C cycles on the TV goes out and has to reboot. They have switched generators and the problem remains. I should tell you they are operating the TV through a TailGater for their satellite signal. Any ideas???1.7KViews0likes8CommentsSt. Louis to Lake of the Ozarks State Park
Hey Guys, Leaving St. Louis tomorrow and we're looking at routes to Lake of the Ozarks State Park. We are pulling our 28 foot TT and would like a route that might be scenic yet not TOO challenging? Time is not a huge issue. How is Hwy 54 south from Jefferson City to Osage Beach? Or maybe Hwy 50 west from Union, MO to Jefferson City? We came in on IH 44 from Branson so we've seen that. Thanks1.3KViews0likes5CommentsRe: water heater lights but won't stay lit
UPDATE!!! The wire was burned off the spark probe. I found a RV parts dept at MB Thomas RV Sales in St. Louis that had the part. Replaced the part and fired up the water heater. Works like a charm. I have a hunch the wire was just bad enough that when the spark ignited the flame, the probe heated up enough to break the connection inside the probe and shut down the gas flow. Anyway, the main thing is DW is happy. Thanks for all your input.293Views0likes0Comments
