Ron, Had the OP asked about “new” class c’s, I could not have mentioned the Triple E , as the Regency GT ( ClimateGuard Pkd) ceased production in 2013, or the Bigfoot which ceased production in 2008 or 2009! Both of these units had enclosed tanks, sewer lines/valves, with forced air heat. As long as the unit heater was kept on, the tanks, dump lines, and valves are kept warm! The Coach House does have tanks with “heat pads”, but as best I can remember from my phone conversation the sewer lines and valves are exposed.....rendering them useless in cold weather.
In fact, after doing some research, I’m moving Bigfoot to the #1 slot....”uncontested”! If for no other reason, the fresh water capacity is near double many other class c’s. Our 26 foot Bigfoot has 64 gallons fresh, 40 grey, and 40 black. The Triple E’s have a much smaller fresh tank! :)
Last winter, we “de-winterized” our unit, filled the fresh tank while ambient temperatures were in single digit F temperatures ....left home and went camping. The previous owner had used the unit down to Minus 17 F, with no freeze-ups! Returned home, flushed the tanks and “winterized”, waiting for the next outing! That’s a unit that is “winter capable”! ;)
