How is everyone? I haven't posted here in a very long time. We are doing the seasonal thing now and just returned home. DUH, I forgot to turn the water off at the spigot. This is something I've gotten in the habit of doing. Well habit if I didn't forget.
Question is, will the pressue be too much for the hose if left on for 5 days use? Not worried about the trailer pumbing, just the hose.
THanks
David

Welcome back to iRV2, Dave. Don't stay away so long next time.

Of course anything is possible and a hose could split due to old age or just being defective, but for 5 days I wouldn't worry about it too much. It probably was on for more than 5 days while you're around and the only thing different now is you aren't there to turn it off if it bursts.

If a calamity happens hopefully a friendly neighboring RV'er would see the water gushing and cut the hose bib off for you.
