Waste water freeze protection is limited to insulated and heated waste tanks. Some people after purchase, add 12V heat tape around the exterior waste plumbing and waste valves. If ordering a new rig from a company like Phoenix USA, they may offer heat tape or something better.
pnichols (Phil), As the tanks, and sewer lines and valves are not inclosed within the heated area (forced air) of the unit....I don’t consider it winter (cold ) weather capable. Or maybe, I’m still misreading the construction specs! Of course, everyone has their own definition of “winter”! For me “winter” starts at zero F, and goes down from there! ;)
