Water & Traveling in Winter

If it's above freezing during the days, say 40, and around 28-32 during overnights, wrote:

If you had those temps in your freezer you probably couldn't make ice cubes. I think you will be just fine.

We have been in DC for the last two weeks where day temps are in the 40s and night temps occasionally dipping below freezing. The heat pump does not heat anything really, once there is a 30 degree difference between outside temps and the temp one wants inside, so we don't bother with it. We keep water in our fresh tank, never letting it get below 1/4 full, and never dump our gray and black til full. We keep the fresh water hose unhooked until we fill the tank. We also turn on our water heater for a 1/2 hour before we go to bed to ensure the water will not freeze overnight (we are on 15 amps so everything is on propane).

We really won't worry until day time temps are consistently below 35 and night time temps are below 20. Hopefully that won't happen before January 1, when we intend to head south.

You will be fine in your Challenger. You will not have a problem with anything freezing until you are in the teens. Your heat pumps on the roof will not perform well when you get into the low thirties. Your heat pumps will not heat your compartments. If you use your gas heat they are most likely designed to drive heat into your compartments. If it does get down into the teens disconnect your water hose at night. If you keep your water tank full you will have water for showers, cooking, toilets, etc in the morning.

You'll be fine at those temps with normal interior heating from the furnace. We've been in temps much lower than that with no problems.

fjonathan,

At those temps, I wouldn't worry. Perhaps leave the heat on at night....which I assume you will anyway.

Safe travels,
Steve
