Water turn off?

How many of you turn off the water whenever you leave your 5th wheel? I never do but a couple next to us turn it off Everytime they leave.

If we are going to be gone all day or overnight, I might turn it off if I think about it. But usually not. I don't turn off the water at my stick house either when we leave.

This is another one of those subjects like traveling with the propane on or off. Some folks take all kinds of precautions against improbable accidents, and others don't worry about it.

Always, when leaving the camper for more than a walk around the campground.
