One Night of Freezing Temps...

Hello, RVers! We are considering taking our TT out for one last adventure before we put it up for the winter. We live in Nebraska and want to go someplace not too far away. The location we are looking at is going to get down to 29 degrees one night. We are new to RVing this year and aren't really sure if that's too cold or not. We have a 2012 Forest River Patriot 29BH. It's not really set up for cold weather, but the temperatures are going to be in the upper 50s to 60s during the day.

Any tips, thoughts, or advice?

In use with the furnace running most RVs are good to at least 25F overnight.
Check the propane each day.

Disconnect and drain your outside water hose. Have onboard fresh water tank full.

Leave the cabinet doors open at night and the furnace on and set at a reasonable temp, like 68 and you'll be fine.
