The heat tape sounds good if it freezes. I wonder how many gallons of antifreeze it would take to fill the drain pipes when just starting out? At least enough to give me a break...

I thought we wouldn't have to do anything with water but my wife told me she wasn't about to sleep in a WalMart lot without the potty.

On another note, I finished building my new bed to replace the sofa. Some guy paid me $80 for the sofa; he is tricking out an old van. I'll see if I can find some place to drop the photos so you can see how I did the project. We have a weekend trip coming up to try out the new sleeping arrangements!

I'd like to see also! I forgot about the heat tape. I was going to do that myself.

Our experience with the heat tape was that you plug it in and you can forget about it. The rain gutter never froze any ice all winter. I am guessing it would work better than filling the drain pipe with antifreeze. Plus when you want to dump, the antifreeze would need to be replenished - the tape just continues providing the protection.

As to using the potty, you might consider what was called the "Wag Bag". I found this comparable - http://www.cleanwaste.com/go-anywhere-toilet-kit and can verify that it worked great one winter we drove to Las Vegas through Denver when the temperature was 7 degrees above zero. We bought our "Wag Bags" at a camping outlet and merely placed in the stool for use and then in the morning found its' way into a trash barrel.
