Hello. I am in the market for a travel trailer and have a couple questions. I will be living in the trailer a couple months out of the year and I found a four seasons campground that'll let me keep it there year round. They do however shut the water off November through April.
Do all trailers come equipped with a water tank ? Are they ok during the winter or will it freeze ? Can you get a circulator pump to prevent it from freezing ? Yes, a tank will freeze if temps are low enough. There are specialty tank heaters, 120V and 12V for this purpose.
Do they generally have removable propane tanks or do they need to be filled with a truck ? If so can it be modified to work with a portable tank ? Removable except in some 5'ers and MH's.
Do they come with sewage tanks or do they tie into on site sewer pipes or do they do both ? Equipped with tank that connects via hose to dump station, truck, or sewer system.
Does anybody use the automatic water heater system in trailers. If you're not familiar it's an on demand water heater that heats water instantly when needed. The technology is not mature enough to work correctly in an RV except the biggest of MH's.
What size electric panel generally comes in a trailer ? 60 amps ? 30 amp and, infrequently, 50 amp.
Any input would be awesome. Thanks guys.
