We currently live in Bismarck, ND and will be traveling to Hibbing, MN during days that may not even reach the teens. We've been told we need to flush the water lines and put some sort of winterizing fluid in them that is safe to drink, so the pipes don't freeze on the 10 hour commute. We are unsure of the process of how to do this and what product to use. This will be our first move during the weather. We live in our 5th wheel all year and don't need help with skirting, heat tape, etc etc advice. We just need tips of keeping pipes from bursting while moving. We will runt he generator and keep the furnace on, but this won't prevent the cold air from underneath from freezing the pipes.
Thank you.
