Answered Water line cutoff for GEN bay spigot(s)?

[Neal]

I haven't checked and need to look and see if there is a water line cutoff that feeds the hot water spigot in the GEN bay. For those that travel in the winter, this line will freeze. If winterizing, it's important to remember this location, but if using your coach, realize this spigot is in the elements and will freeze. In the past years, it's not been a problem "yet" but I think it's smart to just cutoff water to this area if possible. Does anyone know if and where the cutoff valve is? I would imagine it would be on the chassis rail somewhere probably in the basement aft of the battery bay but I haven't hunted it down yet. If you know the location, please share. For those that have this, you may want to consider cutting off water to this area if traveling in freezing temps.

I think the post "Turn on front water spigot" by Joe Hogan answers that.

Hi All, yes ours is “overhead” in the first bay on our mountain air on the driver side. I’ve also added a valve anddrain line on the feed to the refrigerator ice-maker to keep that hose which goes out in the serpentine cable bundle from freezing up and or expansion problems since it’s exposed when the slide is out.

Also, I leave the hot water valve open at the generator in the winter with the line turned off so that there’s expansion room so it doesn’t freeze right there by the generator in the cold
