I had the same problem with the bathroom sink changed the faucet and the water lines connected and it worked but last night the hot water in the sink just stopped working no water at all for the hot in the bathroom sink. The plumbing is cPVC I hope you can help me I have no money for a plumber. Thank you

    I highly suggest you crank your heat up a whole lot higher, and open a few faucets around your trailer, and hope its enough to keep your pipes from freezing further. You either pay a plumber, or pay higher heating costs.

    Changing fixtures will do no good. Heating tape and insulation, and a few well placed space heaters, would have been a better investment.

    Hopefully you have skirting around your home and that it is in good repair. If not I suggest that do that and seal as tightly as possible. Suggest that you place a small electric space heater under the trailer in the area of the bathroom to thaw pipes.

    Hopefully winter will be over soon.
