Somewhere around the tee off of the hot water line to the shower and the kitcher sink is where the pipe is frozen. Try opening cabinet and drawers close to where you think the water lines are running. Depending on the RV manufacturer, the lines might be above the floor or beneath the floor. Once the pipe is thawed out, you will know if it is broked or one of the joints are leaking. You will hear the water flowing. Be ready to turn the water off to prevent damage. If you leave the RV before the line is thawed, be sure to shut off the water and water pump to avoid flooding if the frozen line ruptures. When the weather gets that cold, you want to open all cabinet doors and drawers to allow heat access to the pipes. Also, if there is a bay access below the floor, put a 60 watt light bulb in those areas if possible.
Good luck on the thawing. Let us know how it works out. Chuck B

Help! I am in Ky, 12 degrees this am. When I tried to get water this
morning there was no water in the hot water line to the shower and no
water to the kitchen sink at all. Water is ok in the rest of the
bathroom. I ran the furnace all night thinking there would be no
problem. I have heated tanks and the temp was over 60 degrees in the
RV this morning. What do I do now? I don't want to cause any more
problems by doing the wrong thing.
