Well, started the tear-down and clean-up, was going to post img. but it didn't work. Anyway, found four cracked fittings on the gaslines, I have seen this on water lines, when I was up north, but never on gas lines. It almost looks like it had water in the line that froze. Any feed back on this?

Finally got time to re-install gas lines. But, DW had gathered up all the old lines to re-cycle, so now I have to buy new tubing, not just put on new fittings. :shock: "But you said they were broken" :oops:
Deb is out of the dog house; She came up with a different way to run the gas lines. Hook-up for BBQ, 10ft hose with the right connectors from HD. WE have fire(oven and burners of stove)!! 8)

Tried some thing new. Bushed the trailer with a 'Tide' solution, wait half hour, pressure wash with low (800) psi. Peeled a lot of the paint off. :D

Had fun on trip until just north of Louisville, KY. lost a wheel bearing on the trailer. On trip North, I checked hubs for heat, no problems, so I wasn't checking them going South; should have been!!!! :cry: Fast trip to TSC in La Grange, KY. , some road side fixen and away we go.
Note to self:
1 Duck, entering and leaving trailer.
2 pack tools (they are doing no good sitting by shed door)
3 check hubs often, even when you are sure they are fine.
4 camp more
