- Average temperatures the first night camping range from lows of 16F, and highs of 30F, getting progressively warmer the further south you go
- The following are my intended steps to follow to avoid getting frozen pipes while driving/towing the trailer between nightly campground stops.
1. Empty black & grey tanks
2. Drain water heater tank
3. Drain hot/cold water lines
4. Blow out hot/cold water lines
5. Put RV antifreeze in all P-traps
6. Note: Won’t be using fresh water tank on the trip down.
NEXT STEPS:
- Can you think of anything else that would help to ensure no freezing water issues?
- Do you have any other advice?

Set the tstat as low as it'll go & run the furnace while traveling.
