I use the fresh water tank whether it is hot or cold and dump waste tanks as needed.
No need for all that heated hose, hose insulation wraps, heat tape etc.
Heated hoses are expensive, hose insulation gets torn/worn/as to be replaced, heat tape is PITA
Then you have to store all that stuff. Not worth the hassle. K.I.S.S. is my motto
I really like this idea. If you have exposed tanks and dump valves, how do you keep them from freezing though?
Heat pads on the tanks, aluminum foil and heat tape over that for the plumbing. I put some extra insulation over my tape and wrapped it with gorilla tape.
