Just a quick reply before I get to work this morning. I have dry camped in the trailer for a couple of weekends during the winter with no issues. I have just gotten to the age that I like a shower of a morning and really and truly washing off in a pan just doesn't hack it for me any more. So that is the real reason for the running water.
A little bit more info.
I live in Colorado Springs and normally winter camp in Pueblo which is the banana belt of Colorado. Normally lows can be in the teens and possibly a dab of snow and then the next day it can be sunny and 40-50 degrees outside. Humidity is very low in this area normally single digits to maybe in the lower teens. So I'm not really too worried about condensation building up, also during those days I will have the door open and windows open to allow for fresh air in the trailer.
As far as a underbelly goes. My trailer is a 1971 Terry Trailer. I don't believe there is an underbelly on it. That is the reason I was leaning towards some type of skirting to keep some of the cold away from the tanks and the floor at the same time. No I'm not meaning to keep the lines or tanks at 40-50 degrees at night. As long as they are about 35 degrees I will be perfectly happy and so should the tanks and lines.
Where I camp I am about an hour from my house. So if there is an issue with no electricity I will just pack up and come back home. No problem at all with doing that.
Thanks and I hope I have clarified some of the questions you all have had.
Jim
