Heated tanks..winter use

Have a quesrion that I have searched around and can't find the answer too.

We have a 2017 Sierra 377Flik, front living room, it has heated tanks but I can't find out if it has heated pipes. When we ordered it we chose every option we could but just no info on the lines.
I've emailed the company but have not gotten a response and I've asked the dealership and they weren't to sure.
An internet search didn't pull to much together. Some trailers I have come across do have it but some of the others only have the tank pads.

I want to use it for the next two months during the week basically as my job has opened up a major OT spot for that period or longer and since I live an hour away after working 16 hrs and having an hour ride there and back doesn't leave much time for sleep. We store our RV at my fathers place that has power and full hookups. I installed them when we lived there.
I could stay in the house but I don't want to bother my father coming in at 11:30 and getting up early each day for weeks on end.

Thanks in advance for the help.

  • I'd be rather surprised if they offered tank heaters but didn't have the plumbing run such that it could be used in freezing weather...otherwise, why bother with tank heaters? (Then again, the RV industry does some things that don't always make sense!)

    You might check to see if there is a heater duct into the basement... My camper had a 2" corogated flex line into the basement but no air flow due to internal resistance, so I added a 4" duct from a spare furnace plenum outlet and the flow then was outstanding...
