I have a 2006 Keystone Springdale, model #298bhl, which I'm in need of the water distribution diagram for. Can anyone help supply this diagram, or point me in the right direction on where I can find it?

Thank you in advance!

I think you will need to contact Keystone for specific drawings. Is there a particular problem you need the drawing to solve?

Yes. I have a frozen line somewhere in the water line that runs under trailer. Since the undercarriage has paneling enclosing it, I don't want to guess where the water lines are and chasing my tail. I only want to open up the areas where the lines are so I can get a heater on it.

I contacted Keystone. Totally unhelpful. Told me the diagrams were proprietary information and they couldn't send them to me.

Might be worth trying to get your RV into a heated storage place for a few hrs, rather than tearing up the underbelly. Or (and I know this is not helpful) just wait until it thaws on its own. Good luck!

It shouldn't be too hard to figure out. Are you sure the water lines are not running inside the trailer rather than in the underbelly?

If this is your floor plan then majority of the plumbing is on the camp side as that's where the bath and kitchen is. Where is the HW heater and fresh water tank located?

Based on diagram, the hot water heater is located on South side of trailer under stove. The fresh water enters the trailer through the North side of trailer where the bunk is. From inside that bunk compartment it goes down into the floor. I assume it then runs to the South side of trailer and tees off to the water heater and cold side of faucets and toilet.

I opened every compartment on the appliance side and ran all my heaters, as well as, the trailer furnace hoping heat from the ducts in the floor would do something for a solid 6 hours, but no good. Every line was warmed up nice, which is why I'm left thinking it's froze up somewhere between that North side bunk and where it tees off to the water heater and cold side.

Moving it to a warm garage bay not possible and I really don't want to play around with the integrity of the underbelly of the trailer, unless I knew exactly where the water line ran. Unless anyone has any ideas I'll probably just abandon any ideas of being able to use the water until Spring when it thaws out.

You don't mention your pump. I would locate your water pump and confirm the problem is before that or not.

Is the area under the trailer dry and free of snow? Since heat rises you could try building an enclosure under the area of the trailer where the water line appears to run and heat it with an electric heater. If its damp elevate the heater off the ground. Hopefully the water line hasn't split.

I don't utilize the pump, nor the fresh water tank. Just the pressure from the street feeding the trailer.

I have skirting around he trailer. No dampness, nor snow. I may try the heater, but guessing the heat will just dissipate, unless I wall off the area I think the pipes are located. Plan on going back up to trailer this weekend. Weather has been mild. Maybe resolved on its own. Will update if I make it up there.

With the skirting the space under the trailer is likely fairly air tight and cubic feet wise relatively small so a 1500 watt heater should suffice. Combine that with warmer weather, the furnace running above, it should be able to thaw out in an hour or two.
