THANKS, Dave!  I didn't see your response right away and posted the same question in another forum.  But I'm breathing sighs of relief already and going out to plug into my garage now!
Thanks for all the fish.

Thanks, Leo!  Finally got the trailer level enough to separate it from my truck.  Now I'm hoping the water lines don't freeze Tuesday night when it's supposed to be 29 here!  Think it will help if I plug in and turn the heater on overnight?  Are we having fun yet?


Running a small electric heater inside will work well. Open the lower cabinet doors so the warm air can circulate around plumbing and close the slide. Keep the fresh water tank at least 1/2 full so it doesn't freeze and leave the two waste tanks empty. Most of the RPOD plumbing is within the insulated floor/walls. The most vulnerable section is the fresh water tank drain and/or pump pickup hose IIRC. The hoses themselves are OK, but occasionally a fitting will crack. High 20s should be no problem.

Thanks, Charlie.  I should be doing that instead of burning my propane.  But tomorrow night I'll turn the furnace off and bring one of my small electric heaters out there.

Thanks for all the fish.
