HI Joe,

Did you get the Sharkbite fittings at a local hardware store ore off the
internet? We're a long way from anywhere Kansas and would like to be able to
look the product over before buying.

Regards,

Mitch

Mitch, 
  There is no doubt that the work will be worth it, just keep plugging away.
My wife and I have been looking for a rear bedroom trailer for years so you
have a gem there and once you get the water system fixed you will enjoy the
layout long after the trouble of fixing it is forgotten. One thing I did was
locate my splits and cut them out and patching with pieces of garden hose
and four hose clamps so I could go camping at least a couple of times before
tearing into the system big time. It took two hose clamps per end of garden
hose but we camped for the rest of the first summer with it patched before I
started cutting out sections of copper and replacing them with PEX. I used a
white plastic kind last year (can't remember the brand name), have started
using the brass "Sharkbite" this year. Both work but the brass ones work a
little better. As I wrote a couple of days earlier to the group, the copper
will be swelled out if its too close to where it was
 frozen and burst. Then you have to find a high spot in the copper line
where there was no water to splice in the PEX at. Hang in there.
