Plumbing system winterization - when should I be conerned?
Hey y'all.
I've got a question for you about winterization of the plumbing system on my TT. I've had several rigs in the past and always winterized before the winter. I'm just not sure I've waited this long to winterize in the past ( I just bought this rig a little over 2 weeks ago).
Here in my part of the country, they are expecting a cold shot of air (cold for this time of year/area), which will limit daytime highs to the low-middle 50's and lows in the mid-low 30's.
It's been speculated we could have our first freeze in the next few days. I'm concerned about winterizing and broken pipes. I would like to get the camper out once, perhaps this weekend and maybe once the first part of November.
Do you think I'll be OK by letting it go without winterizing if we have the occasional night that dips below 32 degrees? I don't think any long/sustained cold is forecast, just a few of the nights between now and then will flirt with the high 20's low 30's for overnight lows.
I seem to remeber reading in the past that it will likely be OK as long as we don't get any sustained cold, meaning the high temperature during the day does not get above 32 degrees, or is that not right?
Thanks for any thoughts on this topic.
