holding tanks and freezing
Ernie, I start with 1/2 gallon of red RV juice added to each tank
(grey is empty; black tank has my normal "start up" of about 2 toilet
bowls of water and a measured amount of sewage treatment also for good
watery sewage) at this stage never had problems with these amounts.

If the tanks get to half or so I assess temps and add a gallon more
each...my area of operations gets to mid-teens at worst at night, with
days normally higher...so I am not as challenged as others in really
cold areas.

If I was in a really cold area, i would consider making a small
reference jar of about 20% RV red juice rest water...if it freezes up
when left outside..time for more juice and supplemental heat and wind
shielding for the tanks as Tom M. and others have mentioned.
