Frozen Hot Water

We have a Grand Design Reflection 308BHTS TT and have lost hot water while camping in 10'. Does anyone have any ideas for short term remedy? Interested in permanent fixes after we get home as well.

Thank you

    Normally you have an access door inside the trailer. If you leave this open to circulate warm air to the heater and pipes, it should help. You can use a fan forced electric heater, or hair drier aimed at the heater and pipes from the inside to thaw.

    Found it. I out an electric heater inside. I am guessing the issue is where the hot water line goes into the belly.

  • Hard to know where it might have frozen. Are you running the furnace and is the water heater turned on?
