Is it appropriate to reply to an older thread? I am a new member, and I have to say, at least 3 or the 4 immediate problems I have had with our new to us A/S have been answered by just reading around these threads, Thanks! I have what I think is a similar problem to the one in this thread. We purchased a 1976 A/S Tradewind and towed it to a family deer lease. Almost to the end of our trip, the two streetside tires blew out. We did not have any spares, and were only a mile down a dirt and rock road to our lease, so we kept going. I noticed a trail of water comming a copper pipe through the belly pan in front of the wheels, on the street side. We tried to fill the tanks, but water just flows out that drain. My question is, is that just a drain? Nothing should be atatched to it? Or could the rough and very bumpy trip, have triped the pressure regulator open? It did not leak at all until the tires blew.

Thanks

fresh water system

I removed the whole heavy monstrous valve system that was practically impossible to access. I replaced it with a pressure regulator on the water source, a water filter, and a backflow valve on the trailer. It has worked great. Of course being in florida and living full time in my trailer removes any problems with freezing and storage so this system seems adequate. thank you for all the info

Eastern South Dakota is very pretty with hills, rivers, and trees.
