 Frost damage - Iffy
Oh dear, looks like I have a poorly caravan following the recent freeze.

The inlet for the cistern of the en-suite toilet burst, the mixer tap in the en-suite basin now leaks like a sieve, there's a burst under the caravan, and the kitchen sink mixer tap has also gone the journey.

A list of what's not gone wrong in the plumbing department would be shorter.

Happily(?) the water was turned off, so I have no water damage or flooding inside the van.

There was also anti-freeze in the drains and toilets, so no damage there.

I don't want to stay there until Christmas week, so the inconvenience factor is low.

Fixing the two leaks in the pipes will not be expensive, but new hand basin and kitchen sink mixer taps will cost a few quid.

Am I downhearted?

A little bit, but it was -18°C in Leeming last week, which I hope will not become a common occurrence, despite global cooling.

Anyone else have any frost damage stories?
