We were reminded of this during our last camping escapade. We happened to notice that the water pump was running every so often, but didn't think much of it the first few times. Sometimes there's air in the lines - no big deal. Well it kept running so we started looking for why. I happened to look in the toilet, and lo and behold it was full of water. Had we not noticed it would have overflowed all over.
We thought about it, and had this happened during our last trip when we were hooked up to city water we might have come back to a flooded camper. No bueno. Trailers are subject to constant earthquakes as we haul them around so unlike your house, things are a little more likely to go wrong. It just happened that some plastic in the lines came loose and went through into the toilet valve causing it to stick open.
Turn off the water, turn off the potential flood.
Or, turn off the water pump if you're not hooked up to water.
ReplyDeleteTrue. Running water while away is just not a good thing.
