I am planning a tahoe trip for a week. temps will range from the 10 degrees upward.
i am not looking for a long term winterizing, just the best way to handle the cold weather. in researching this, like most things, there are different opinions.
as far as the travel trailer goes, it is a new Nash. true four season. it is made for the cold and i am not worried about being able to "handle" the expected temps.
my questions are really around how to handle the temps while using minimal propane (primarily because i dont want to run out and need to refill it during the cold), and protecting my holding tanks in the process. you see, i know if i usee the propane heat, all the tanks will be fine. they are in insulated underbelly. BUT, if i am not using the propane much and using electric to keep cabin in the 60s, will the underbelly be warm enough to keep fluids from freezing, and / or should i be using city water supply....
thanks for questions / comments.
