4 season camper

How do you keep the water lines from freezing while traveling?

I am considering a NL or bigfoot basement style camper. My travel will include driving two 14 hour days to get to North Dakota or Montana, then boon docking for two weeks while pheasant hunting.

My truck is a 1997 f-350 crew cab dually 460 with an 8 foot bed two wheel drive

Will the water lines freeze enroute? All my camping is oct thru January . I know how I can heat it during the day while I am parked while I am up there. it's the long drive to and from that concern me. I own a nice class B but have found it lacking in very cold temps

Thanks
Bob

    If you're concerned about propane use or having problems keeping the furnace lit while in route, you can run it when you stop. Put a remote thermometer sensor in the camper so you can tell when the temperature drops too low and you need to stop.

    run the heater just have lots of spare propane bottles. I use our TT for a hunting base also. I leave it up at the lake and take a bunch of Straw bales up and stack around the camper it helps but still get cold and go through lots of propane.
