Hi reddfox,

Turn on the furnace. Go to the tanks compartment. Open it. Do you feel warm air coming out? If so, it is heated. If not, it isn't.

Plan to protect the fridge, too.

What the frig what?

I was thinking of not putting water in until in the south...but the question being is Im gonna have to come back to this weather in Jan and then what? Gonna be hard to tote an air compressor to blow out all the water...What have y'all done in the past?

I would think you could find an RV dealer on the way back who would winterize it for you. Or you could ask around whichever RV park you're staying at to borrow an air compressor.

Hi,

Is the RV considered a "four seasons" unit?

Most motorhomes heat the wet bay area with one of the propane fired furnaces. Run your gas heat and you won't have problems. Your interior pipes won't freeze as long as you keep the heat on. You can also add a trouble light with a 60 watt bulb to hang in the wet bay that will add enough heat to keep things happy.

Leave the coach winterized till you get to "the south". A friend of mine uses his coach when in freezing weather but uses windshield washer fluid to flush the toilet and bottled gallons of water for drinking and cooking usage.
