[VAL] Airstream copper tubing
Airstream has always used "soft" copper tubing.
They have used 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" and 5/8" tubing, as measured on the outside.
Therefore any unusual dimensions, other than the above, is an absolute
guarantee that all or a part of the trailers tubing froze.
When it has frozen, it is not unusual to find odd dimensions, throughout the
entire trailer.
The fix?
Replace all of it. If not, sooner or later, when you least expect it, another
fitting will fail.
