- TXicemanExplorer IIBut did you drain the water lines and the water heater.
- barchetta1ExplorerI put windshield washer fluid in the drains.. better late than never.
- coolmom42Explorer IIPut a space or 2 inside. They are cheap and abundant this time of year. Any WM or Dollar General will have them.
If you are not willing to do that for some reason, do the following:
Drain the water system and water heater.
Go to Walmart and get some RV antifreeze. I know you are not far from a WM in SC.
Pump the antifreeze through the water lines until they all run pink. Pour some in the traps and toilet. - barchetta1ExplorerWell, hoping for the best. Its 33 already and its only 7pm. I suppose i could go get some windshield washer and add that to the drains anyway.
- Tal_ILExplorerIf you were only below freezing for several hours, you are fine.
- Dick_BExplorerAlmost everyone sells RV antifreeze. No need for a compressor.
- IdaDExplorer21 isn't cold. Just heating the rig a bit and opening the cabinets should prevent any issues. Check for broken traps but you're likely just fine. I camped in colder temps elk hunting a few weeks ago.

- barchetta1ExplorerI guess I was looking for ideas on damage already done.. antifreeze is on order and will be here monday. I live in the south so it was probably below freezing for around 4-6 hours and same tonight.
