towing in cold weather

We stay winterized until we get to warmer weather. Have headed south earlier the last few years and avoided the issue.

We have a Arctic fox 4 seasons and have left the furnace on but its illegal in VA. Went to Ohio and back in 14 degree weather and nothing froze, lonely campground in the snow, real quiet.

I've towed with my furnace on by accident a few times... Never caused a problem, but of course you wouldn't want to fuel up with it going. Whoosh!! :E

Thanks again for all the info....and the search results. :o)

Here are 1581 search results from the past year or so.
Search results.:)

I used the "advanced search" feature and put in (without quotes)"furnace" "on" and "traveling" and I searched for posts with all of the words (not exact phrase) and looked at archives over a year old.

Thank you so much for your info.......So, we don't want to have water in tanks (makes sense) and we can run the furnace at minimum while driving. Since this was recently discussed in this forum, do you remember around what date ?? I was not able to find anything......Again, thanks !!

I would not feel comfortable towing my trailer in below freezing weather with water in the pipes for very long.
If I am going to tow in freezing weather, then I will drain the pipes or blow them out. During travel, if the weather is supposed to go much below freezing during the night, I will drain my hose and filter, open the cupboards to let warm air circulate, and turn the furnace up to a comfortable temp. Although many do travel with the furnace on, we have not found it necessary to do so. It is easy to just open the low point drains and let the water out.

We often use an electric portable heater at night when traveling that does not circulate heated air to the enclosed tanks or underbelly so the furnace is necessary. Doesn't have to be set too high - just enough to keep the temp above freezing down there.

My solution for the past 10 years though, is to leave Michigan in late October and not return until sometime in April. :)

Hope this helps.

When we go to Florida from Chicago in December our rig is winterized until we get to a warmer area. We frequently have the furnace on 50 degrees F to make our pit stops more comfortable.
