Here's a couple of pictures of my low-point drain plumbing fun mentioned earlier.
Before:

After, just needing the belly cover taped up and some sealant or foam to fill the gaps:

Three inches of PEX would have made all the difference in the world.  The good thing is that I found a good way to get the cinch clamps off - a small bolt cutter I got from Harbor Freight works well for snipping off the cinched-up head, and a pair of pliers pulls the remainder of the clamp off easily.

This coming Saturday it will be done. I do have one last camping trip planned but wont need water as we will be in our driveway the last day in our current house. The movers are packing everything on the 4th and we move in to the new house on the 5th, so we will be in nice comfy camper beds and not on the floor in the house.

Winterized ours a couple of weekends ago after our final outing of the season. It's going to be tough waiting for April to get back out to a park. I'm sure I'll do a backyard turtle campout with our dogs at some point over the winter. They seem to enjoy that plus they work perfectly as bed warmers ;D
