What's wrong with this picture?
I stopped by the RV the other day to see how my winterization was holding up and surprise!
My kitchen faucet was blown clean off with enough force to clear the counter top and make it to the floor.
Obviously, I'll be a little more thorough when I blow the water out next time. 
It's rare we get freezing temperatures for any significant duration, so this was a bit of a surprise. And the faucet was wide open, too. 
Anyway, my wife got to pick out a new faucet so she's happy - I checked all the other plumbing components - everything else is just fine, so I'm happy.

That seems really odd. Especially if the faucet was open. How do you check all of the pex?

Was the faucet open in the 1/2 way position between hot and cold?? That's why I prefer Antifreeze. Run hot and cold until both are pink.

Wife noticed those two things in the pictures.

I blew the sprayer off of my kitchen faucet while winterizing. And that was with a 40 psi regulator. I will be transferring the Delta faucet from the kitchen sink, in the house, to the trailer. That was my wife's idea so that we could get a new faucet in the house.

Great....double the work. That's what I tell my wife so I can double the tool purchase.

Well, I just turned on the water pump, made sure most of the air was out and then checked for leaks over the next few hours. We're taking it out this weekend, so I'll keep checking it.
The white thing is a marine drink holder with suction cups on the bottom - great for keeping water bottles on the table or counter when traveling. I think this is it:

And yes, the bar on the door is the towel holder - she said she got that at Target.

Ours did the exact same thing and it's the same faucet. We have a 2018 Sandpiper 372LOK, but they are both FR products.
We blew ours out and also put pink stuff in. It still blew it up and it was laying right at our door when I opened it the other day.
