A summary of my first year full-timing

As far as the holding tanks go my RV grew up in New York and is equipped with heated RV tanks and storage areas. I guess the previous owner let it freeze with the heat turned off because when I got it there were several freeze damaged areas such as the hot water heater, grey water tank and the shower fixture, all cracked from freezing. The new holding tank I'm installing will be totally insulated and heated with vents from the furnace. I was able to weld the cracked hot water heater but had to replace the shower fixture and the grey water tank.

I purchased the RV for a very good price that reflected the previous owners neglect.
