Possibly frozen water separating the joint?

Where it is ,,,,,I'm not saying. But got a feeling a pan or such like has been shoved into pipes but won't happen againrerouted to hopefully avoid this reoccurring

I had a nightmare this morning when setting off from Penrith with my caravan, heading home to restock before heading to Scotland.
1. Attempted to move the caravan with the corner steadies down, luckily no damage.
2. 15 miles into the journey thought where did I put the motor mover controller. Pulled into the next lay-by and low and behold it was on top of the rear window wiper, god knows how it hadn’t fallen off.
3. 10 minutes after setting off again tyre pressure warning came on for car. Pulled into the next lay-by and all tyres looked ok. Thought sod it I’ll drive to next lay-by and check again, still ok so decided to carry on home.
4. Finally arrived home and daughter hadn’t opened drive gates so had to call her on phone with caravan encroaching onto the main road. Fortunately being a Sunday not much traffic.
Now chilling out watching the football.
