Yikes. I would move the water pump.
Propane tank is supposed to be in an unlockable compartment that is open at the bottom, hard to imagine having a water pump there.
Our monaco, pump is in the wet bay, along with all the plumging and the "west end" of all three tanks. There is a factory thermostat controlled 12v heater in there that can maintain 50 degrees when it is zero outside (fact. just back from a trip... it is supposed to be thermostatically controlled to maybe 35, but went on and never shut off, I'll have to look at that)
Short answer is, we survived overnights at 9 and then at -3.
Again, I'd think it wouldn't be too hard to move it.
Ours, the achilles is the whole house water filter. It's in a small basement compartment opposite where the propane is. the place where I store my firewood and lanterns and such...
It did not freeze this week, when we were heating the rv wirth lots of propane, but it has frozen and broke in the past. On my list to move it.
