Will motor home freeze traveling in cold weather?

We would like to travel to Texas, but the weather in Mo is very cold, and we would like to know if we run the gas furnace on the motor home while traveling, will that keep the water lines, sewer lines...

Probably not. Unless ALL lines are enclosed in heated areas, the wind will freeze them.


My understanding, which could be incorrect, is wind has no "wind chill" factor on any inanimate object. Only life forms that produce body heat are affected. As I said ... could be inaccurate. As for the OP's question, I don't think temps near freezing would be a problem. Camp on!
