Yep, that's one of the three, all of them are good though that one I think has more seating than the Roe location. The third is on 47th street in an old gas station.

Hey white, do you recall the hose drip idea we were talking about last week? -I did attempted that one, temp was 5* F at the time. Connected up the city water supply (140' of 3/4" hose) to a Y at travel trailer hook-up, or just before. Then adding a short section of hose to the Y for a drip hose. I began with a steady stream from the drip hose, -slow but steady. Well, it was a fail within about 10 minutes, -both supply and drip hose froze while in motion lol.

It was worth a shot though, I wasn't sure how cold it had to be to freeze the supply while in motion.

Regardless, back to using the on board fresh water supply tank. - Located and fixed the problem (s) as said in the last post.

Brew, think of it like this. If Niagara Falls is freezing with all that motion, a 3/4'' hose is going to freeze in very short order, without a good covering or insulation, and then will probably still do it if it's not under ground to keep it from the elements.

Technically Niagara Falls isn't completely frozen. Just the top layer making it appear frozen. Water is still flowing underneath, and at the american Falls the river below is solid ice except for a small patch at the bottom. Scientists suspect it will never completely freeze due to the volume and speed at which it flows.... I just read into all that cz I've been here for a week lol

Right , well you know, - many folks suggest leaving the water drip to evade freezing. I expect that might be for minor freezing issues...more of an in-house thing. Cold wall/floor.

Wow what a weather change, from -10 F last week to +47 tomorrow, -Thurs high is 53.
I took some pics btw AK. No glamour shots tho, just the plumbing lol. That was because I had fix it with mirrors, couldn't see everything. Wanna see them ? I haven't yet, they are still in the camera.

Need more specs. See that Torque, curious, -what's it weigh lol. Mannn, I've been waiting a long time for this. Didn't think it was going to happen in the states.

Same here Brew. After the Ecoboost was introduced I figured the chance of a diesel F150 was all but gone.
