Burl, I'm a brat. I want my entire rig working when I use it, so I remove the winterizing fluid, add water, and keep the heat set low even while it's in the driveway. I only had one freeze problem when I tried using the 'compressed air only' method of winterizing. Seems that no matter how much air pressure one uses a little plain water anywhere will freeze and cause problems. That is why I had to get a new pump at BoatNRV in Hamburg, Pa when we went on a trip this spring past. I have the tank heaters as well, but they are not a factor unless it's near dump time. This spring the drain lines/valves will be heat traced, along with the previous mentioned insulated feedwater line. (Maybe I'll put some tracing on that too!)
Mainer, many of us with the Chevy chassis chose it because of the roomy cab.It's been a frequent topic in these forums.
Tina, I suggest you go with the 36". Especially if that is the size of a standard (?) mattress. (WHO came up with those designations!!???)
I mentioned before that we are bringing Ms. 213 back up to the lot tomorrow. I will be covering her up, but I know there will be some residual snow on the roof no matter how well I clean it. Could that cause problems or will it just melt when the sun helps me out?
