I finally got around to dewinterizing the TT today. I was going to flush out the hot water heater and when I removed the drain plug, out came 1-2 gal of water. Apparently, it's been there all winter. I drain the water heater after every trip, so I'm a bit puzzled, but I apparently missed something somewhere last fall. I filled up the water heater and fired it up and fortunately no leaks. The only other problems found were a dead clearance light and the switch to the power tongue jack didn't want to work. I got those problems fixed in short order. Now all the TT needs is a top to bottom cleaning, and we'll be all set to go.

I've seen folks who leave drain plugs out and then find critters nesting in the water tank next spring. I suspect you either didn't get it bypassed before someone turned on the pump or water or else you have a leaky or not completely closed by-pass valve or check valve allowing some back fill. Nothing too serious though since it wasn't full enough to cause a problem. I would also suggest that your water tank will probably last longer if you stop leaving it empty between uses. It's NEVER going to be completely dry and with a damp area like that it promotes oxidation. It would be better off left full during the summer months. Just my opinion / Skip
