We recently bought a '99 Pace Arrow on a Ford Chassis, I thought I had opened the drain lines and drained the water from the system, turns out I didn't open them all and the lines froze. I have repaired several but find I still have a couple of broken lines somewhere in the center area under the floor and so far haven't figured out how to access them. Any suggestions?

Have you checked in the basement compartments? My heater ducting runs the length of the coach and has a couple lines behind the insulated ducting

The backs of your storage bays can come off with a few screws and you'll be able to see all the pipes.

Thanks for the advice, I'll pull those panels off tomorrow and see if I can fix my problem. I'll definitely do a better job draining those lines next winter!

My 2006 5'er is plumbed with PEX. White for cold and red for hot.
