Repairs

 After we returned from Santa Fe, David installed the Anderson Valve cartridge we received from New Horizons and tested the system. That did not fix the problem. David pulled the access panel from the basement wall and could see water flowing backward through the water pump screen. New Horizons sent us a new water pump, which David installed and tested. Problem fixed. We could not find any one else to do the repairs in the area since they were all busy refurbishing FEMA trailers that had been stored after hurricane Katrina so they could be sent down to Houston after Hurricane Harvey. We also decided the water coming from the underside of the Wanderer was a leak in the fresh water overflow since we have not seen the problem come back during tank flushing.  In November, we then filled the water lines with antifreeze and set the fiver up to sit through the winter months. During that time David made some additional modifications to the fiver to allow us to strap items in the garage down and began the job of waxing this big behemoth.
