Now that winter is upon us in the midwest, it's time to consider inside projects.
My coach needs to have the fresh water tank and water heater replaced, and I was wondering if it makes sense to try to replace the old water lines at the same time? They are original and I did have leaks in the water tank and heater, so the system is shwoing it's age.
Has anyone done this? Is there a better way to place drain valves so they are easier to access? Should PEX lines be used or is there a better alternative? Is getting rid of the city water connection a good idea, or can it be moved to a more accessable location if it needs repair?
Any advice would be much appreciated before I get involved over my head. It doesn't look like that big a job, but there's nothing better than hearing from people that have actually gone there before!
