sigh. Would like some input from anyone. Finally getting this rig ready to head out. DIY huge window chip travel guard looks/works great, fiddly fixes mostly done... Has an exterior lead 'outdoor shower' composed of a stored coiled hose, that pressure fits a connection that leads into the #trailer (the #Sol I showed a pic of weeks ago). Connects to a female spring loaded fitting just like you would with an air compressor or hydraulics line. Let me guess. Theres a fitting/valve/backflow thing on the INSIDE of the trailer that traps a min. amount of pressure in the short extension? Cuz first #plumbing test and flush of the season, the housing where this lead is leaks to the outside fiercely. Open the door, see the plastic (boring basic WIMPY not reinforced, BAD ON YOU #inTECH!) has a busted off chunk. So either a pressurized small section froze/broke over winter, or the RV #ANTIFREEZE failed. But doesnt explain why ONLY THAT SECTION BROKE, while all the smaller more fragile leads running all over the trailer are fine. So... its pressurized, meaning it didnt get the antifreeze flowing thru it when #winterizing? I dont remember using it all last year, so how it got water past ('backflow'?) inner fitting without the hose attached to do so, is beyond me. But now I have to find a way to remove that section of plastic crap and replace... fine if it werent looking like it was built as an entire unit without ability to unthread the broken piping...
