I don't think you have enough btu's to keep the pipes from freezing in serious cold. (I've been out at -37 c (-34f)).
Ooh. Pianotuna, you're in Regina, I'm in Utah. If I'm out at -37C, I definitely made a wrong turn at Albuquerque. ;)
FirstTracks, I thought you folks in Utah could handle a “little” cool weather! ;)
Oh, as a hardcore skier (which is the source of my handle here on RV.net) I can assure you that I can. Although I'll confess that with each passing year my tolerance for cold drops another notch. Back in my 20s I was a ski patroller for a decade at a resort on the Vermont/Quebec border. It felt like the coldest place in the world, although it's got nothing on Pianotuna's Saskatchewan. We'd half a half dozen days each January when the thermometer never rose above -30ºF, plus the wind would be howling 60-70 mph. You don't want to see that on a wind chill chart!
But if I'm trying to "camp" in those temps, I seriously screwed up somewhere. ;)
