Winter camping with the Atwood XT water heater
Wondering if others have done this.
When winter camping in below freezing temps we will need to keep the water heater on during the winter months to prevent freezing.
Problem is the gas side pumps thru the propane PLUS the exposed flue pipe expels lots of heat when not lit.
I'm thinking of installing a switch on the outside of the heater that will disable the gas valve and inserting some insulation to somewhat prevent heat loss.
If I loose 120vac due to storm/downed power lines i would simply open cover, remove insulation, flip external switch then hit the gas switch inside so its back to propane.
Any others done this?
