[VAL] the pipes and water heater
I called the dealer who has my Caravel and told him I would be picking it up
Sunday. I then called the guy who has the horse trailer place and told him
that even though he winterized it all the pipes broke. He said he had blow
the water out of them and seemed genuinely surprised. I don't know about the
hot water heater. I think I forgot to tell him about that--maybe he didn't
drain that. In any case he said bring it to him and he'd replace the plumbing
and hot water heater--no charge I assume. The thing is, the AS dealer told
me that if the hot water heater is broken you can get a new one or any
replacement because of the size and where it has to go. Is this correct? Again
it's a 1965 Caravel.
For the future. Draining and blowing out with a compressor isn't enough for
New York winters?
I'm ashamed when I think my poor trailer was ok (well who knows) for 40
years until I got it. HEY!! I just thought. I got it from a man in lower
Louisiana--maybe I saved it :-)
