[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.
