Symbol water leak

I have been away 3 times in my 2001 Symbol purchased in August 2012. Two of these occasions I have experienced drastic water leaks from the aforementioned pipework. The first, reported earlier I believe, was cold pipe actually fallen off. Replaced hoseclip. This time, hot water pipe, same location, not fallen off but leaking. Hopefully fixed, but I feel temporary. Is it advisable to replace these offending pipes. Having to take the back panel off whilst on holiday is not my idea of fun.

Just enjoying a beautiful sunset after a very rainy day.

Hi
I have a 2002 and the pipes were just dangling straight down with the weight of the pipes on the push fit connectors. I had a leak from the cold pipe/joint and I pushed it back up 1/4 of an inch which cured it. I then screwed two cable ties to the wood panel that backs onto the bathroom and used these to support each pipe to stop it swaying and pulling down. So far so good.

Thanks, I will look at supporting idea. All my pipes have hose clips and the offending one was slack. Movement of vehicle or that late frost?. I was using it in the late frost so the likelyhood of it freezing the hot water pipe I would think minimal?
I will be monitoring the issue. Meanwhile I am enjoying my holiday.

Hi Weedaf,
when you have another look at those pipes you could modify the rear panel and use the space. I have and I keep the van jack, electric leads and various other items behind the toilet panel.
Also because I use it all the time, if any leaks start I notice them straight away.

Best regards, Mike

Thanks Mike, but I have the space utilised with a cupboard for some of the things that don't have a home. Spare loo rolls, they got wet and very soggy so had to be thrown, water pump, etc. Very handy feature, that is how I descovered the leak.
It must be a drawback is all I can assume rather than the pipes deteriorating.
