Just found out that I have to stay in Ohio until Nov, I am going to get cold. Never had to stay in a cold area in a RV before. Has anyone out there stayed in their P/A when it can get to 20 - 30 degrees? Is there some areas in the P/A that I must watch out for freezing the water pipes? I have a extend-A-stay ordered so I can use outside propane tanks to keep the furnaces running and not have to move to get propane tanks filled.
I noticed that the rear bedroom furnace has a heater pipe to the basement, but it is in the very rear of the basement and I am concern about the fresh water tank, water pump and pipes up to the front of the basement.
Paul ~ we've not experienced those kind of temperatures, but I can tell you that when those temperatures are forecasted here, in the compartment where the fresh water tank (empty if possible) and the water pump are housed, we put a flood light with a 60w bulb on a timer so that it comes on during the coldest part of the day or night. This is something you could do in any compartment that has access to water lines. Wrap your water hose is pipe insulation. If your furnace is are running they will supply heat to that rear compartment.
Hope this helps. Stay warm!! :)
