Had to use coach in emergency camping in my motor-home garage during freezing weather! Great ice storm of 2009 in western Ky beginning Jan 26th. Long story short-was lucky I parked motorhome full of gas. Was four days before roads were clear enough to drive to get more gas etc. Had winterized water part of coach only to have to add water for use during the emergency. Some nights were close to single digits. Ended up with leak in compartment which houses water pump next to HW tank. I am waiting to better weather to fill again and trace out leaks. My question is are the water lines standard size in most motorhomes and fittings would be the same from manufacturer to manufacturer?? 2001 Winnebago-would it be time for water pump replacement? Is it best to have several water cutoffs so as to isolate a leak and still be functional just as you would in a house. Had minor leak at flush valve at commode and thought I was going to have to drain my fresh water when I realized after shutting off water pump and pull up on foot pedal to empty water in lines into bowl thus relieving pressure it would stop. Will look into replacing this valve before next trip
