I'm curious ... if one is able to store their Class C in cold weather near a power outlet ... has anyone done the math on about what the monthly electric bill would be to keep an electric heater turned ON inside 24/7 to hold the inside above freezing at, say, 40 degrees?
Doing this while leaving all cabinet doors open, along with leaving the grey, black, and freshwater tanks empty ... it seems would be an easy and (maybe) not to expensive of a way to keep the motorhome always ready to go without any de-winterizing.
FWIW, I have a problem leaving an RV sitting around in freezing weather with it's entire coach interior at way below freezing temperatures. Of course keeping on RV inside a slightly heated building during cold outside temperatures is the ultimate ... but next best would be to keep it's interior warmed to above freezing with a heater set to a temperature above freezing. I even keep an electric heater turned ON inside our Class C here in CA where our outside temps rarely get below freezing at all, or if they do - not for very long.
