[A/S] more on busted pipe

["fstreeks" <fstreeks@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to those who responded to the busted pipe.I pin-pointed the 
rupture by turning on the water, looking, and listening. It was under 
the bathroom floor pan at the door way threshold. This section is molded 
with a cross section that makes a perfect tunnel to hide pipes in 
forever. After weighing my options and not wanting to pull out the 
wardrobe and half of the bathroom, I made my own access with a dremel 
tool. The threshold facing out is covered by carpet most of the way up 
so I cut out a panel there and found the leak. I cut as small an opening 
as I could so as not to weaken the threshold. I cut out less than two 
inches of pipe and will fit that with braided tubing. tomorrow I will 
find a piece of plastic stock to cover the whole front of the threshold 
and put the carpet back up. It was painful to hack into a 
non-replaceable piece of the trailer, but I think of how much could have 
gone wrong if I took everything apart. I hope there was only one 
rupture.

This week life will get as good as life can get. I am out of work on 
sick leave (elbow surgery) and will be taking the trailer to Ocean City 
MD. In other words my employer is paying me to go to the beach and 
camp.
