[VAL] RE: VAL Digest V2 #287



Dear Valist:
 The cold winters of the northeast are very hard on soft copper plumbing.

I got so fed up with fresh water tank problems on my 1969 27 footer (like
floods when various pipes broke)  that I pulled it out and will now go
tankless.  Save some weight too.  So I now have an almost intact original
tank sitting in the yard.  It does not leak, but the fill inlet is now only
about 1 1/2  inches long.  It broke off on my last trip probably due to
vibration and flooded the whole front end,.

The water pump is heading for Ebay - but in the opinion of all you
experienced Airstreamers - should I junk the tank or should I also put it up
for sale?

			Thanks
