Day 14 Monday January 26, 2009

Well, the first order of business was to contact the insurance company, since we invested in a special policy to cover the components of the trailer. Of course in our hurried departure we grabbed, what we thought were the trailer papers, but actually we had nothing. So the first call actually went to the RV dealer in Sturgeon Bay to get the policy number, then the insurance company. Their instructions were to get a repairman, certified by RVIA, and get an estimate for the repair to the plumbing. We also found out that any damage to carpeting or anything else would have to be covered by the collision/liability insurance which is a different company. More phone calls and got hold of a repairman about noon. While I was waiting for him, I decided to take the panel off of the space below the stove and there it was! There is a T in the main water line that connects the main water line to the water line that comes from the on-board water source - and this waterline came off the T fitting, so it was a 90 second fix with a screwdriver to slide the line back on the T and tighten the hose clamp. Then I called the repairman and cancelled; he recommended that I invest in a pressure regulator, since in his opinion the high water pressure at this RV Park, is what caused the problem.
We found a great place for lunch a few blocks away and then shopped for trailer accessories and groceries and called it a day.
