Here in the mountains of Western North Carolina the temps the past two nights have been around 14-15 degrees. I'm not ready to winterize yet as we have a couple more trips planned. My '04 37C is parked in the driveway at my home connected to 30 amp power.
I've got both furnaces running with the thermostat set at about 62 degrees. The hot water heater is running on electric. I have 75 watt light bulbs on in the following compartments:
- the outside refrigerator compartment
- the first curbside compartment where the pump and fresh water
tank is
- the second from the rear curbside compartment that holds the
water heater and the related exposed plumbing
- the streetside water works compartment
- the streetside holding tank outlet compartment
I have this feeling that I still don't have all my bases covered! Can you think of any thing else I should have done?
It would have been nice for Fleetwood (and others) to spend an extra $25/unit to install inexpensive 120 volt compartment light fixtures controlled by a master switch inside the MH to eliminate this maze of extension cords, clamp type lamps, etc. that I have to set up everytime it gets below freezing! Fleetwood customer service told me that their stance is that they don't recommend using the Pace Arrow in sub-freezing temperatures.
Give me a break!
