Still a good idea to paint your license # and state on the roof of your
trailer and tow vehicle or your MH.

In the late 1970's and early 1980's, some RV (brand) club members were
painting the club numbers on the roofs of R.V.'s in an effort to prevent
stolen trailers which was happening quite a bit back then. This was a way
of tracking their trailer by club numbers in case the vin numbers were
destroyed. This may have been another place that the original owner of
your trailer added their numbers for positive identification of their trailers.

Instead of PVC consider PEX. It is rather freeze resistant especially if
the system is not pressurized when subjected to freezing. Crimp tools are
a little expensive ($100+) but the store you buy your PEX supplies from
may loan you one, as the store I bought my supplies from did.
Non-crimp fittings are also available but are expensive and much bulkier
than crimp ring type fittings.
Should use the same brand of pipe, fittings, crimp rings and crimp tool
throughout if possible.

Michael,
The hose and clamp configuration is not factory!! All was copper, however,
the copper when frozen, but not enough to burst, would swell so that the
standard fittings would not fit and could not be used to repair a break, so
the hose and clamps was the normal repair. This was on most if not all repair
unless the whole system was replaced with pvc or other type.
