Electric Heater vs Winterizing

Have you tried keeping tanks warm with a small electric heater instead of winterizing. How has that worked for you?
  • It'll work until it doesn't. My brother gets away with it in Vancouver, WA, but I wouldn't try it. Once you learn to winterize, it should take less than two hours.

  • Hi,

    You need to figure out how many degree days there will be. You would need to leave the furnace set to cut in should the power fail.

    I heat nearly 100% electrically. See the thread "winter camping" under full time RVing.
  • Great...but I live in Las Vegas, NV and only have to do this a couple times a winter.
