My water is froze at our park, does it hurt to leave the hot water heater on or should it be off. temperature is still below freezing. Seems if I leave it on at least it won't freeze with water in it and keep me from draining it. Going to fill the fresh water tank for tonight once they get water back on.
Go to the park's office and ask them what their policy is during below freezing temperatures. If you have a full hookup it may be as simple as leaving the valve open on your gray (or galley) tank and running the water in the kitchen sink at a slow stream (not a trickle). Having
RUNNING water in the water hose helps to keep the hose from freezing. The park that I am at also says that they are responsible up to a site's spigot and the guest is responsible from the spigot to their RV.
This is the policy of the park that I'm in. YMMV. We'll have 3 to 4 times during the winter when the temperature is 23F to 25F. I only have 3/4 inch foam pipe insulation on a 20 foot water hose. I have a Class C with an open belly and no winter package. I have no problem with the cold temperatures. I just make sure that my sewer hose has a continuous downward pitch from the MH to the sewer hole.
Yes running water can be wasteful - even when a cold snap runs 10 days - but here it is park policy.
