Jayco 33DS Floppy Water Pipes

Yahoo Message Number: 541
The Jayco 33DS water hose plumbing is, for the most part, exposed
underneath the coach. I think this is the case with all of the
Greyhawk/Kodiak models (don't know anout the Senecas). The pipes under
our coach are free to vibrate and flop around which I'm sure they do
while traveling. Also in at least one case there are pipes laying loose
across a metal strut. I have uploaded a picture of this in the photos
section.

Anyway... I can think of several approaches to remedying this situation
but thought I'd ask you folks if any of you had already dealth with
this and/or had suggestions. BTW... I think I recall reading (maybe on
RVNet) where someone had sprayed foam sealant around his pipes to sort
of hold them in place.

Thanks, Bill

The propane tank for the 32SS is on the curb side. I had a couple of water lines flopping around in that compartment as well. I used pipe insulation (long pieces with slits) that I got at Home Depot and some garbage bag ties and they don't bounce much now. I'll try to remember to take a photo and post it.

Perhaps what we should do when we post photos is also post a link to them so people don't have to go and search. I'll try it with your water line photos.

That is exactly what I did right after I got my 32SS. I used the
round foam tube insulation in a bunch of places. I put it around all
the lines near the water pump and the manifold, and everywhere
underneath that two pipes touched or rested on anything metal. I
also used it in the area of the water heater and heater. Basically,
anywhere a water pipe could vibrate or rattle, I put the foam
insulation around it.
