We are just afraid of freezing lines cracking and leaking when thawed. Anyone ever use the after market tank heaters???

also, modmyrv.com has an install under 'heating' or plumbing about this....
This spring, I am dropping the entire underbelly and redoing wiring, adding dedicated circuits, insulation, insulated duct work and upgrading the furnace, adding heat to the 'john', controlled duct work for underbelly, insulating the basement floor as well as other 'convienence' mods...
