In Portland we might see two or three days of below freezing. We camp year round so it just might be a waste of time, water and pink stuff to fully winterize.
Anyway, just wondering if any of you also just crank up the heat for a night when it gets below freezing for just one night?

What do you normally do at this time of the year...winterize or run the furnace?

A lot depends on the pipes in use and if there is pressure in the lines. Typically, if there is pressure in a line, 25f won't be a problem if temperatures rise during the day. Unfortunately, most guys will kill the 12V battery power while in storage and that means no water pressure. The flip side of this coin is that if the pump is left on and a pipe does burst, the pump will run until it's shut off. Pumps are dumb.

Like Terry said, if it is only a few nights of freezing temps, you should be fine. As long as the temps are above in the day..
I can winterize with 4 gal of pink stuff or $16 - if the power goes out and it freezes how many repairs can you make for $16 - its easy for other to say you will be fine they do not have foot the repair bill if they are wrong
