Off-grid Winter RVing Question

WAY WAY WAY too much heater maximum capacity. 5,000 would do fine. The issue is air circulation and keeping exposed liquid tanks from freezing. If the tanks are exposed you are basically screwed unless you find a way to keep them from freezing. This is why newer rigs have basements and enclosed tanks.

Sounds like you got the keep warm inside covered. But your water lines will freeze. Many MH's the "heated tanks" are nothing more than splitting the heater vent in the back bedroom in half and sending that heat down to the sewage bay.:R

For the DW:
Get a porta-pottie. That's what I used on the way down south when I had to leave with a winterized MH. I don't do gas stations when traveling!

The toilet is 'exactly' like the one in your RV. You can buy them with different size tanks. Depending on how long your stay is. Then dump it at a gas station toilet or dump station.

The holding tank cassette underneath has a real slick swing tube for easy dumping into a gas station toilet or CG dump station. Clean, absolutely no smell. And fits the bum just like your RV toilet.

You can pick up the average size tank one at any Walmart for 60 bucks.
Here's the link for all the models from Thetford.

I'm hoping the Big Buddy does the trick in those temps without having to use the RV's blower heater. The Mr. Heater unit is good for 18,000BTUs and can be used safely indoors. On a 20lb tank, it should easily last an entire weekend.

None of the water lines appear to be heated. Since I'll be off-grid, what would I need to do to keep the tanks and lines heated for up to three days? How much of a battery draw would it be?

Thanks for chiming in...

The blower type LP heater will draw your battery down in a few hours...
