Water Leaks!

[Bruce Morris]

Well Tom, as I said earlier I don't winterize my Bird but I do keep it connected
to electricity and keep heat in it when it gets too cold. Maybe it's just a
"Bruce" thing.

I know that my Bird came from New Hampshire where it probably got cold enough to
be a problem. All of the problems I have encountered did not occur on my watch,
but I have to deal with them. I suspect the same thing is true of Bruce in
Florida too since I believe he just bought the coach from someplace up north.

So I guess you are right neither one of us followed the procedures as outlined
in the Blue Box.

The fact that you both have frozen pipes begs the question of whether
either of you properly followed the procedures for winterizing your
fresh, grey and black water systems that is outlined in your owners manuals?
