Question about camping in the winter
Although we have had our RV a year, we didn't use it last winter so we are still learning. We have plans to go to Nashville, TN at the end of December/beginning of January for about a week. I'm thin...

The heat pumps are built into the air conditioners, and the warm air comes out the cieling vents.
To keep your basement and tanks warm, you have to run the propane heaters, they go thru the floor ducting, and will have at least 1 or 2 air vents down in the basement tanks areas.
If yours is like our monaco,it will have a "system heat"switch on the main panel, which turns on a thermostat controlled 300 watt 12volt heater in the wet bay. Check for this, and make sure yours works. It will keep most of your plumbing from freezing.
Also check your fridge. I used one of those one into three plugs, and a plug socket to light bulb screw to put a 100 watt light buld behind the fridge, tied into the same power as the icemaker. So far so good, the fridge line is frozen, but it hasn't burst. It will get near freezing (up from single digits) this weekend, so I'm hoping to get the icemaker / fridge door water line unfroze...
they say to block the upper 2 of the 3 fridge air intakes with duct tape, so I did that too. So far so good, except for the frozen water line.
