Should I winterize today? Advice please
We just got back from the Keys last evening just after dark. Of course last night was the coldest night of the Winter so far. It was predicted down to 23 by the NWS and 27 by local news. I think the actual was 27 or 28 here.
I did brave the cold and drained the HWH and fresh tank. Also opened the faucets and opened up the low point drains, so hoping all is well.
High today is 40 with 25-27 predicted tonight, then it warms up. I would rather wait till Wedn or Thurs when it is going to be 60 to winterize with antifreeze because I want to clean out the black tank good and really don't want to hook up and do that at 40 degrees. Got to worrying this AM about the toilet / pump freezing. Didn't leave any heat on in the TT last night because I was more worried about doing that with no one on board to keep an eye on it than the freezing ( I know that should not be a worry but it is ).
Sorry for the long post but just looking for opinions as to whether the pump or toilet would likely freeze @ 25-27 with the system drained as stated above. Seems to me it would take more of a hard freeze. Thanks in advance
