Re: [VAC] Pressure Water System



For you with the air pressure systems on your water.  Be sure your tank is
very sound. In my Bambi,  the first time we pumped up the pressure the
bottom went out of the tank and I had 25 gal. of water running into my newly
refurbished trailer. Guess what?  There had never been a drain on the tank
so I cut my water hose so I could use a piece of it to syphon the water from
the tank.  It kept some of it from leaking.  If y ou trailer has spent time
in Arizona and maybe other places the chances are very good that the tank
will soon leak.

Another "funny" on my Bambi.  It had a shore power cord that was male on
both ends.  Needed to be very careful to plug it into the trailer first and
then into shore power or you'd be walking around with a hot end exposed.
You can find many odd things in these old timers.  A non RV friend replaced
that but didn't know about RV fittings and now I have a regular house
fitting.
