We have a (new to us) 2006 Holiday Rambler, 37 ft. with a basement. It is winterized. It has a heater in the control compartment but we don't think it will heat the pipes. The pipes appear to be between the enclosed compartments and the floor of the motorhome. How do we access these pipes to send heat to that area of the RV or is it just not smart to try using the RV. The site has electric only. What solutions have you come up with? If it is possible to go through with this trip, how would you handle the black tank? (using the toilet) which would be the only thing we make use of.
This winter has been one of the coldest in decades in this part of PA so it could be a problem.
If you really only want to use the toilet you can always just keep your water drained and use jugs of water to flush (assuming you can keep the jugs from freezing "upstairs"). Its unlikely that the black tank itself will freeze solid, but put in a little of the pink stuff to be sure.
There have even been a few time that I have used jugs of the pink antifreeze to flush the toilet. Not practical for heavy toilet use but may work for limited use.
