Let me point out that the OP said No shore power.
I am from around the Tacoma area.
Are all 6 of the batteries on the coach 12v system, or are some on the chassis 12v.
You could try the heaters and light bulb. You will need to watch your batteries. Below 12.2v and you will start shaving life off the batteries. A small space heater may not keep the interior warm enough without constant running. A 100w light will also chew up some power. I think you are going to find out that after a very few hours to days, your batteries may die.
Solar. How large is the solar? What will you do if there is 2-4 days of clouds and rain/snow? What will you do to keep panels clear of snow?
I'd dump water and blow it out. Make sure to get the pump. Pex pipe is not the freezing hazard. plastic joints, especially a low one, is the weak spot.
My FW tank is 70 gal, so if I dump a half full tank then that is 35. I would rather do that then to lose a water line. I did have a frozen ice maker line.
Six coach batteries. One motor battery. Thinking of solar in the 300-400 watt range.
Thanks!
