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 30 to 20 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 live in the Greater Cincinnati, Ohio area and have delayed winterizing our P/A into November by just running the furnaces and keeping the coach at 50 degrees to protect the water lines it the temps dip near the freezing mark around here during the night. If you are in southern Ohio during November you should be OK just running your furnaces but if you are in Northern Ohio near Cleveland and Toledo you would be best advised to winterize your waterlines and not take any chances. Southern Ohio rarely gets snow during November. Occasionally there is a freak flurry but we usually get well into December before we see our first snow of the season here. The worst part of our winter usually is delayed until February. Hope this helps.
