    Yall have me thinking that I need to check mine out. We're going camping next week for spring break. I drained everything, left faucets open, and drained the hot water heater. Normally thats all I do and its fine so we'll see if it worked for this storm. May have to try to check it out later this week.

      Mine doesnt work like that if I open all of my fixtures, the pressure relief valve and the low water drains.

        I thought my hot water heater had busted from a 3-day freeze in the teens a couple of years ago. I had water leaking out under hot water heater. After I pulled out hot water heater I found out it was the outdoor faucet located right next to hot water heater leaking and water was leaking out under hot water heater. Replaced faucet and done. I have been opening all my faucets and blowing out with air sense. This go round my toilet valve busted. Easy fix but had to order part in.

          I replaced my element but still had a leak. I went ahead and pulled it out last night. For sure a result of the freeze. Small crack in the weld. Ugh! Taking it to a welder today, hopefully it can be fixed. Fun stuff.

            Does the insurance coverage on your rv’s not cover some of these issues?
